Written by TheatreCNU alumni, this exciting new work follows four exceptional abolitionist women and reflects on an extremely polarized time in American history. Pulling parallels from the past to the present, Now to Ashes provides guidance for confronting our current conflicted times. Each woman’s story gives the audience varying perspectives on how to respond to injustice, regardless of the time period.

TheatreCNU is proud to produce this world premiere in partnership with Hampton University Theatre.
