Two Olympian fencers-one from North America, one from Africa-meet for a late-night spar session the night before they are to square off on the world stage for the gold medal. Eventually the session spirals into a heated duel between two black men over the matter of representation.

"Black Card" is directed by Justin Schwartz and features LJ Brodie, Austin Sasser, and Lindsay Fabes, who also serves as fight choreographer. Fencing uniforms and equipment provided by Radical Fencing in Manhattan.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. All audience members must show proof of vaccination for all in-person attendance. For Chain Theatre COVID protocols visit here: https://www.chaintheatre.org/covid-19-guidelines.
