Since I left the theater last Sunday, I have been singing 'Camptown Races' (sometimes referred to as 'Camptown Ladies'), a comic song written by Stephen Foster, known as the father of American music who was considered the pre-eminent songwriter in the United States of the 19th century. Appropriately, the song was published in 1850 in Foster's Plantation Melodies, making it the perfect theme song for PURE CONFIDENCE, a play set in the high-stakes world of Civil War-era horse racing. This surprisingly funny and daring story takes a look at the complexity of race relations, love and dignity in the second half of the nineteenth century. Against a vivid backdrop of fast horses, gritty racetracks and high-stakes betting, it's an extraordinary tale of human triumphs and failings.

Lord is a man dominated by greed, and that quality has made him a despicable human being who contaminates his surroundings. A mean old man who keeps every cent he gets his hands on, he denies help to everyone who asks for it, he ignores the existence of his granddaughter and he seems incapable of any human feeling. His vileness is the result of a traumatic episode: the death of his wife and daughter. Even in the midst of his twilight days, he does not seem willing to change. But it is Christmas Eve and the holiday spirit makes way for miracles to happen. Lord will be blessed with the opportunity to change, perhaps not to heal his past life but, at least, to improve his remaining days.
This season welcomed the very first Broadway production of the August Wilson drama, Jitney.

Being the last play of Wilson's American Century Cycle to reach the Main Stem, the production adds the final jewel to the crown of August Wilson's sterling Broadway legacy.
