Returning after a successful run at Stageworks Theatre in 2023 When the Righteous Triumph delves deep into the heart of the Civil Rights Movement. This compelling drama brings to life the courageous stories of individuals who stood up against injustice and fought for equality through sit-ins that led to the desegregation of Tampa lunch counters in the 1960s. The play follows a diverse group of activists, each with their own struggles and triumphs, as they come together to challenge segregation and discrimination. Through their eyes, audiences witness the tension, fear, and hope that defined this pivotal era in American history. From organizing peaceful protests to facing violent opposition, their journey is one of resilience, solidarity, and unwavering belief in the power of justice.
Written with emotional depth and historical accuracy, When the Righteous Triumph is a tribute to the unsung heroes of the Civil Rights Movement. It highlights the enduring impact of their fight for freedom and reminds us of the ongoing struggle for equality today. This moving and thought-provoking play is a celebration of the human spirit and the triumph of righteousness over oppression.
