The Day is Past & Gone

Event Series Event Series: The Day is Past & Gone

May 30 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Playwright Teresa Harris’s original drama returns to Jefferson’s plantation for two additional performances.

Drawn from real-life experiences of the men and women who were enslaved at Poplar Forest, the trilogy explores the complexity of their lives and their struggles to survive. Join Harris, the cast and Poplar Forest’s archaeology and interpretation staff for a Q&A following the performance.

Bring your friends and family, a picnic and a blanket or chairs, and experience a little-known but important part of Poplar Forest’s history brought to life. NOTE: The performance consists of three vignettes performed at three different locations on the property. We recommend bringing chairs, blankets, picnics, etc. that are easy to move.

Tickets are $20/adult, $10 for youth ages 6-17 and college students (with valid ID), $5 for children under 6.

Tickets will be available online until 5pm the day of the show. Tickets will still be available at the door both nights. Rain Date: May 31
