Sally & Tom

Sally & Tom is not a history play; it’s a play about how history gets told. It’s a dark and witty dramedy that alternates between 1790s Monticello and a present-day rehearsal room as a scrappy theatre company stages a play about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. But as the rehearsal process unfolds, the boundaries between past and present blur, exposing tensions, contradictions, and uncomfortable truths about race, power, and the act of storytelling itself.
