on that final day.

*The Whipping Man*, by Matthew Lopez

directed by Sean Derry

(September 23-October 8, 2016)

*Rehearsals begin August 29th

*THE STORY*: It is April, 1865. The Civil War is over and throughout the
south, slaves are being freed, soldiers are returning home and in Jewish
homes, the annual celebration of Passover is being celebrated. Into the
chaos of war-torn Richmond comes Caleb DeLeon, a young Confederate officer
who has been severely wounded. He finds his family's home in ruins and
abandoned, save for two former slaves, Simon and John, who wait in the
empty house for the family's return. As the three men wait for signs of
life to return to the city, they wrestle with their shared past, the bitter
irony of Jewish slave-owning and the reality of the new world in which they
find themselves. The sun sets on the last night of Passover and Simon -
having adopted the religion of his masters - prepares a humble Seder to
observe the ancient celebration of the freeing of the Hebrew slaves from
Egypt, noting with particular satisfaction the parallels to their current
situation. But the pain of their enslavement will not be soothed by this
tradition, and deep-buried secrets from the past refuse to be hidden
forever as the play comes to its shocking climax.

*Seeking*: 3 males: 2 Black, 1 White

*SIMON *– 50’s; former slave in the DeLeon home.

*CALEB *– 20’s; only child of the DeLeon family.

*JOHN* – 20’s; former slave in the DeLeon home.
