Left Edge Theatre kicks off its 2026/27 season with one of the most talked-about plays of the 21st century.

SLAVE PLAY
by Jeremy O. Harris
September 25 – October 10, 2026

The old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation…or does it?

In this provocative, explosive, and darkly funny play, Jeremy O. Harris dismantles history, exposing the complicated intersections of race, gender, sexuality, power, and desire in modern America. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is exactly as it seems.

Bold. Challenging. Unforgettable.

General Auditions and SLAVE PLAY auditions will be held June 14 & 16. More information coming soon.
