The playwright probably chose not to include Rebeccas' father and Sojourner Truth in the action of the play to highlight the impact they have on the characters without needing to show them directly. Their absence allows the focus to be on how their beliefs and actions shape the lives of those who interact with them. By keeping them offstage, the audience can still feel their influence, making the story more about the characters' development and the themes of the play rather than the characters themselves.
