<span style="color:black">Inspired by Cleveland’s past, present, and future, <i>I’m Back Now</i> is a poignant family drama that transcends time and space. At 19, Sara travels to Cleveland to meet her birth mother Elle. As she strives to reconcile the legacy
she thought she knew with her actual origins, Sara discovers that she is a descendant of Sara Lucy Bagby, the last woman ever prosecuted under the Fugitive Slave Act. Traveling through time from the 1860s to today, the play weaves together three generations
of one Black family in a deeply felt meditation on the histories we carry.<br>
