Rebel Yell, by Ted Swindley

Set against the backdrop of a Civil War Confederate Veterans Home in 1920, this powerful drama tells a shocking story about racism in the Jim Crow South. A white supremacist, confederate veteran Grandfather and his anti-racist son battle for the conscience of their grandson, forcing the young man to choose sides between the two most important men in his life not knowing that his choice in this heated debate will result in devastating results.

This gripping and emotionally charged production confronts the legacy of hatred, the cost of silence, and the moral crossroads that define generations. Set within the walls of a Confederate veterans home, the play exposes how ideology, family loyalty, and history collide—with irreversible consequences.
