This past weekend, I had the privilege to attend the opening night of Confederates, written by playwright Dominique Morisseau (Ain’t Too Proud To Beg), directed by Donna Marie, and presented by Three Bone Theatre, at The Arts Factory. The storyline centers around two African American women, one a slave named Sara (Nonye Obichere) and the other a college professor Sandra (Valerie Thames).   Both women lived in two different time periods; yet, their lives/challenges paralleled in similar ways.
