SYNOPSIS: Chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and openly gay Civil Rights activist, Bayard Rustin was nearly written out of the history books. This world premiere musical play soars with African-American spirituals and offers a glimpse into a transformative moment for young Rustin — his 1944 prison sentence in Ashland, Kentucky. As he incites nonviolent protests against prisoner segregation and refuses to hide his sexuality, Rustin is branded a “troublemaker."

Directed by Steve H. Broadnax III

Music Supervision and Arrangements by Jason Michael Webb

Featuring Reggie D. White, Helen White, Eunice Woods, Erik Raymond Johnson, Price Waldman, David Watkins, Jesse Corbin
