Klein History Theater presents: Educational plays about the lives, struggles, and triumphs of influential figures in American history.
The highly acclaimed play returns for a 6th year in 2027!
Frederick Douglass: An American Slave
Written by Daniel S. Campagna, Ph.D., directed by Dexter Singleton, and starring Tenisi Davis.
This well-received one-man play has been performed in venues across the country, including at the Douglass home in Washington, DC. The show has been recognized by the NAACP of Fairfield County and made its Klein debut with 2 shows in February 2019, an additional 3 shows in 2020, and first shows after Covid in 2024. Celebrate Black History Month and discover the world of one of the prominent leaders of the abolitionist movement; it’s a revealing look at who Frederick Douglass was as a man, beyond him as a historical figure. The podium used in the set is the very podium that Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at in 1961!
Includes post-show Q&A with Tenisi Davis.
