Battle in the Margins Theater Production
2026-09-19 15:00 - 18:00
Battle in the Margins is a new theatrical project exploring Black life in New York City during the American Revolution. It was commissioned by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation in partnership with Black Gotham Experience.
A series of original, ten-minute plays will premiere at FDR Four Freedoms State Park. These performances will focus on the African Diaspora’s experience, resistance, and role in shaping early American history, shining a light on stories often left out of the nation’s founding narrative.
Battle in the Margins invites New Yorkers to reconsider the American Revolution through the perspectives of the African Diaspora and to engage with the enduring questions of liberty, identity, and belonging that continue to shape the nation today.
