About the shoW

A clean break from history. A dirty fight for justice.

Step into Atlanta, 1881, where a fierce group of Black laundresses decided they had washed their last load for pennies. Based on the true story of the Atlanta Washerwomen’s Strike, The Wash is a vibrant, funny, and deeply moving look at the unsung heroes of labor history. Directed by Erica Sutherlin, this powerful play explores the bonds of sisterhood and the incredible collective power of everyday workers who risked everything to demand dignity and a fair wage. It is a historical drama that feels electrifyingly modern.
