Set in the 鈥渄ark room of history,鈥 steeped in fantasy, and live music, Toliver & Wakeman fantasizes the Civil War experiences of two Union soldiers, one Black, one white, and each harboring a secret. How do they bond while fighting the same enemy but not the same war? With vibrant theatrically, Toliver & Wakeman explores the fluidity of American identities, the longing for home, the unrelenting grip of history, and the meanings of freedom.
