Previous productions of Georgia have been performed at The Tampa Museum of Art, where the project originated, The Museum of Fine Arts (St. Petersburg), The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), and the Edinburgh and Hong Kong Fringe Festivals.

Directed by Anna Brennen, founder and producing Director of Stageworks Theater Company. She has produced and/or directed more than 100 hundred mainstage and touring productions since the theater’s inception in 1984.

Playwright Constance Congdon’s works include Native American, Tales of the Lost Formicans, and Casanova. She has won a 1987 National Endowment of the Arts Playwriting Fellowship, a 1998 Rockefeller Playwriting Award, and a 1991 Guggenheim Award.

Soon after African-African businessman Sterling North becomes the new director of the Morris Foundation, he discovers that this world-famous art collection includes several significant African sculptures tucked away in storage. His proposal to add them to the public galleries is opposed by the foundation’s long-term education director, who is loyal to the idiosyncratic wishes of the late Dr. Morris. Spurred on by a zealous local journalist, this clash quickly escalates to the public accusations of racism and a bitter struggle for control of the collection. Permanent Collection is a searing examination of racial politics that ultimately ask how much space – literally and figuratively – the white world gives to African-Americans. What is the cost of failing to view the world through another’s eyes?

Director Julia Flood has 28 years of experience in the professional theater as director, actor, playwright, teacher and producer. Julia has served as Artistic Director of Eckerd Theater Company (etc), professional touring theater for young audience based at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater since 1998.
