Sacred Fools Theater

Set against the vivid backdrop of fast horses, gritty racetracks and high-stakes betting, Pure Confidence is a daring, funny and emotionally moving look at race, dignity and humanity in the second half of the 19th century. In the leadup to the Civil War, Samuel Cato is a crafty, self-assured slave and jockey who, along with his horse, Pure Confidence, is owned by Colonel Wiley Johnson. Cato and his horse win race after race, eventually earning enough winnings for Cato to buy his and his wife's freedom. But when the Civil War begins, Cato's life and livelihood are turned upside down. Don't miss this moving story about the true meaning of freedom when it comes to the Sacred Fools Theater in Los Angeles.
