The High Ground at Arena Stage

A Black soldier stands his ground atop Tulsa’s Standpipe Hill, bearing witness to the destruction and desecration of Tulsa’s Greenwood District—but other forces, both friendly and hostile, conspire to remove him. A play in conversation with Tulsa, Oklahoma’s 1921 race massacre,The High Ground offers a complex portrait of what it means to root, to resist and to proceed from devastation.
