Tommy J and Sally by Mark Medoff, Directed by Craig Wallace

Featuring Reginald Robinson as Tommy J and Magali Nass as Sally.

Play Synopsis:

Is TJ who he says he is? Is Sally who she says she is? Or is each who the other says the other is?  A black man invades a white woman's life, claiming she's someone she says she isn't.  The results are a racial and personal conflagration that changes both the intruder and intruded upon.  A modern twist on Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson that unleashes a tsunami of anger and emotion leading to cleansing.
