Marin Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of “Sally & Tom.” 

​

Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks, known for her acclaimed works about American history “Topdog/Underdog” and “Father Comes Home From the Wars,” sets the stage with the metatheatrical story of a fictional up-and-coming theatre company rehearsing a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. As opening night approaches, playwright Luce is struggling with rewrites and pressure from a producer about how to frame the relationship between the third president and the woman he enslaved. Luce also stars as Sally, while Tom is played by Mike, her romantic partner and the production’s director. The past and present collide in this electrifying exploration of artistic authenticity, history, power, and truth. 

​

“Sally & Tom” made its World Premiere at The Guthrie Theatre before performing Off-Broadway at The Public Theater. The New York Times gave it a Critic’s Pick, calling it “hilarious and harrowing. 

Executive Artistic Director Lance Gardner makes his Marin Theatre directorial debut with this show.
