What happens when an African-American man living in Detroit's inner-city purchases an oil rig on eBay and discovers one of America's largest oil reserves right under his own backyard? Will the poor get rich or will the rich just get richer?

Christopher Zinovitch directs six actors playing over 80 roles in the World Premiere of Black Gold, a fast-paced, vaudevillian satire of class, race and greed in a country that will go to dangerous lengths to keep the cheap crude flowing.
