The Great Privation

by NIA AKILAH ROBINSON

DIRECTED by MINA MORITA

PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BOSTON’S COMPANY ONE THEATRE

Detailed Seat Map

Philadelphia’s African Baptist Church, 1832: a mother and daughter guard the grave of their husband and father to deter resurrectionists from pillaging it for science.  

Today, on the same grounds: another mother and daughter work as counselors at what is now a summer camp. Timelines collide, reminding us to find joy in our present even as we exhume our nation’s buried past.
