In A House With No Walls, a bitter public battle erupts when it is revealed that the site of a new  museum enshrining American liberty is the ground on which George Washington’s slaves’ house once stood.  A Black political activist, Salif Camara, occupies the site, demanding that the house be recreated as a reminder of the reality of slavery in our history and a memorial to the slaves’ lives.  He is opposed by a controversial Afro/American conservative author, Cadence Lane, who argues that Blacks must lay aside their pursuit of victimhood if they are to achieve true equality. The conflict between the two is juxtaposed against the story of Ona Judge, one of Washington’s slaves, as she struggles with the decision of whether to risk everything and escape her bondage.  Moving between the present and the past, the play explores our relationship with troubling historical reality.  Questions challenge us: How do we decide which elements of our history will be commemorated? And which will be erased!

FEATURES: 
The New LATC between 5th and 6th Streets in the heart of the new downtown Los Angeles Gallery District is also becoming known as a stop on the monthly downtown art walk and comedy crawl.  For the last several months, crowds have rewarded the addition of comedy at The New LATC, with lines winding around the corner on the second Thursday of each month as part of the Downtown Art Walk and Comedy Crawl. 

The New LATC will host its first “Spring on Spring” festival during Robey’s production run.  That event will offer additional exposure for  sponsorship partners.

THE PLAY:   
Contemporary political drama exploring philosophical conflict that erupts when it is revealed that the site of a new museum honoring American liberty is the ground on which George Washington’s slaves’ quarters once stood. The tension between two African-American characters - one a street-wise political activist, the other a conservative author - is juxtaposed against the story of Ona Judge, one of Washington’s slaves, as Ona struggles with the decision of whether to escape her bondage.
