Experience a little-known but important part of Poplar Forest’s history brought to life when playwright Teresa Harris’s original drama returns to the south lawn for two performances only. Drawn from real-life experiences of the enslaved men, women and children of Poplar Forest, the trilogy explores the complexity of their lives and their struggles to survive. Following the performance, join Harris, the cast and Poplar Forest’s archaeology and interpretation staff for a Q&A. Bring your friends and family, a picnic and a blanket or chairs. Tickets are $20 for adults age 18+; $10 for youth ages 6-17 and college students (with student ID); and $5 for children under 6.

Friday and Saturday, May 24 and 25 at 6:30 p.m. each evening (Rain date May 26)
