Saint Mary's School Pittman Auditorium, 900 Hillsborough St. Raleigh. (Corner of Hillsborough and Saint Mary's)

When his rise through the Negro baseball leagues hit the ceiling of racial prejudice, Troy Maxson turned away from a world of unfulfilled promises and denied opportunities.

His son Cory, an emerging football star, sees the world through very different eyes, and his wife Rose yearns for an outlet for her love.

A story of four generations of African Americans that explores justice, fair treatment and social change during the 1950's

Winner of the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize. The role of Troy was originally portrayed on Broadway by James Earl Jones, and will be reprised in April by Denzel Washington.

2009-2010 Season!

Each year, JTP explores in-depth a theme of social justice concern.

2009-10 finds us all turning back to the family .How family is affected when our fathers, sons, mothers and daughters come back from war. How a family of sisters so solidly held together all of their lives can be suddenly scattered to the winds on the breath of a radio wave. How a family desperately wanting more for their children can resent them for the opportunities that they themselves were denied. How families are made and remade after overcoming great obstacles.

Thought-provoking. Entertaining. Inspiring.

The Justice Theater Project is a non-profit theater company dedicated to the idea that art inspires change.
