Sunset Baby

by Dominique Morisseau

Directed by Margo Hall

Sept 11 - 28, 2025

A searing and heartfelt story of family, legacy, and the weight of history, Tony-nominated playwright Dominique Morisseau’s Sunset Baby follows Nina—a sharp, determined woman carving out her path in present-day Brooklyn. When her estranged father, a former Black Panther and political prisoner, suddenly reappears seeking redemption, their collision sparks a reckoning over grief, betrayal, and the generational scars of revolution.

Hailed as the “Bard of Detroit,” Morisseau is the author of Skeleton Crew and The Detroit Project trilogy, as well as the Tony-nominated bookwriter of Broadway’s Ain’t Too Proud.

Directed by Artistic Director Margo Hall, Sunset Baby confronts the tension between dreams and survival, the fight to define identity on one’s own terms, and the quiet, radical power of forgiveness.
