Confederates
Sponsored by The Department of Theatre and Dance Montclair State University. Life Hall Studio Theatre 1200 Red Hawk Deck Montclair, NJ 07042. 7:30PM. CONFEDERATES by Dominque Morisseau is a play telling the lives of two Black women 160 years apart encountering the same quest for freedom, and they struggle to overcome gender bias, and colonized institutions. Both women embark to sustain overt and covert oppressions that attempt to marginalize and suppress their greatness. Charles Burk director states, "In directing this play, I am exploring how actors exhibit the direct effects of telling the story of how racism challenges interpersonal and professional relationships. Treachery, risk and a woman's importance all play a part in maneuvering their time periods."

Arriving in the glittering opulent world of Moscow High Society, the impulsive and romantic Natasha Rostova awaits the return of her fiancé from the front lines. But when she falls under the spell of an intoxicating aristocrat, it is up to the unlikely hero, Pierre, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Inspired by a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, this sung through electropop opera expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling.
