Story

Purlie Victorious is set in an era when Jim Crow laws still were in effect in the American South and focuses on the traveling preacher Purlie Victorious Judson, who returns to his small Georgia town hoping to save the community's church and emancipate the cotton pickers who work on an oppressive plantation. 

"An uncompromising, joyous affair, broad in comedy and spirit!"

Time Out New York

Adam Feldman

"A blazing and hilarious revival."

The New York Times

Jesse Green
