PLANTATION BLACK

Presented by InterAct Theatre Company

World Premiere!

by Phaedra Michelle Scott
directed by Kimille Howard

FEB. 6- MAR. 1, 2026 Run Time: TBD

*Arrive 20 minutes early for a lobby Raffle Spin and help determine where in history we start that performance of PLANTATION BLACK.

Two centuries after a murky agreement binds a Civil War era plantation family to the enslaved people working the land, the white and Black Prioleau descendants must finally determine who is the rightful heir.

A cast of six actors play both the Civil War and present-day characters, and each night the play begins at a different point in the timeline when a cast member spins a drum bearing the names of all the scenes in the play.

PLANTATION BLACK’s innovative structure evokes the way history repeats itself, and the (sometimes) random ways we learn about our national and personal history.

PLANTATION BLACK has six potential starting points. About 20 minutes before each performance, we will pull a ball from the raffle drum to see where we'll start. If you want to return for the chance to see the play start in a different place (no guarantees!), you can purchase a $12 return ticket at boxoffice@interacttheatre.org or call 215-568-8079.
