District Merchants at The Acting Ensemble

Love, loss, litigation, and predatory lending areexamined in surprising ways in this uneasy comedy, which wades fearlessly into the endless complexities and contradictions of life in America. Set among the Black and Jewish populations of an imagined time and place that is simultaneously Shakespearean, Reconstruction-era, Washington, D.C., and today. District Merchants is a remarkable tale of money, merchandise, and mercy.
