In the Tony-Award winning comedic Broadway play, Purlie, a charismatic and resourceful self-taught Black preacher returns to his home in the Jim Crow South to reclaim his inheritance, save his community church and free the oppressed workers. The problem is that Ol' Cap'n Cotchipee, the domineering plantation owner, is unfairly holding Purlie's inheritance. The play is known for its humor, wit, and commentary on race and inequality in the American South.
The play, which explores themes of race, injustice, community, and the struggle for freedom and equality in the American South, premiered in 1961 on Broadway, and starred the author, Ossie Davis.
All SFC Alumni and friends are welcome!
