FIREHOUSE MAINSTAGE AUDITION 
Firehouse Theatre in Richmond, Virginia is announcing auditions for CONFEDERATES, written by Dominique Morisseau and directed by Dr. Tawnya Pettiford Wates. 
Synopsis:
Two Black American women – an enslaved rebel and a professor at a contemporary university – are having parallel experiences of institutional racism, though they live over a century apart.
