Synopsis: The play unfolds in two distinct but interconnected eras: the 1400s and the 1800s.1400vs 1800" is a dramatic exploration of greed, power, and historical consequences. It asks whether people, when faced with the full weight of their actions, can truly change or if the temptation of wealth and domination is too strong to resist. However, the story takes a twist. They are pulled 400 years into the future—into the 1800s, where they witness the horrific consequences of their actions. They see the brutal realities of slavery, the suffering of millions, and how their greed has led to the devastation of countless lives. They meet people enslaved on plantations, freedom fighters, abolitionists, and others whose existence has been shaped by the decisions of their ancestors.

Richard Gallion - Writer/Director/Actor
As a writer, director, and actor, I stumbled upon these hidden talents after obtaining a basketball injury in college. Suffering a broken wrist and unable to fulfill my dream of being a professional athlete, I was chosen to travel as a runway model for Ebony and JET magazine Fashion Fair. While on tour, and during my downtime in-between shows, I developed a passion for writing. I began my acting career under the directorship of playwright John Ruffin, starring in the GMC-televised film “Love Me or Leave Me,” where I acted alongside Clifton Powell, Elise Neal, Carl Payne, Terri J. Vaughn and the legendary Shirley Murdock.
As one who understands discipline and consistency, I was fortunate to garner roles in FOX’S newest show APB, Transformers 4, USA’s Sirens, and FOX’s Empire directed by Lee Daniels, featuring Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. This opportunity has opened up massive doors for me. I have also starred in Black Coffee, which was recently in the AMC Theaters, Chicago PD, which airs on NBC 5, and the new movie Halfway featuring Quinton Aaron.
