New Orleans, 1813. On the eve of the city passing from Spanish to American rule, the world as Beartrice Albans knows it is shifting. A wealthy free woman of color, she has navigated the complex system of plaçage to secure a life of luxury for her three daughters. But as the Louisiana heat rises and a regime change looms, the walls of her grand house begin to close in. Marcus Gardley’s lush, lyrical drama is a haunting exploration of Black female agency, the cost of freedom, and the ghosts we inherit. This is a visceral battle for autonomy, centering the brilliance and defiance of Black womanhood in a world designed to contain it. Kashi Johnson, director. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info. Click here for LU Department of Theatre website.
