Late at night, deep in the woods of southern Illinois, a ghost tells Gail she will die within the next 24 hours. So begins The Refuge Plays, an epic tale that follows one Black family over 70 years. Written by Nathan Alan Davis, this bold reimagining of an American “family play” is full of humor, heart, and surprises. Patricia McGregor directs.

“The playwright has smashed existing artistic forms and created new ones along the way. The Refuge Plays suggests the potential for stories to exceed the world's limitations.” Naveen Kumar, The New York Times

“Nathan Alan Davis turns the American family play on its head in this epic journey through time, space, and family: a joy ride worth taking.” Allison Considine, New York Theatre Guide

“Don’t miss this first-rate production. A beautifully written, brilliantly acted epic saga masterfully directed by Patricia McGregor.” - Deb Miller, DC Theatre Arts
