Two Plays: Paul Robeson & The Douglass-Lincoln Debates--Harriet Tubman Theater
These two-plays feature three outstanding leaders from our nation's history. Paul Robeson stars former Cincinnati City Councilman Wendell Young as Robeson. With Robeson's signature "Ol' Man River," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and other spirituals and popular songs, the play chronicles Robeson’s early life and career as he uses cheerful defiance, sly humor, and unflagging courage to overcome racism on the Rutgers University football team and in a Wall Street law firm. Robeson reminisces about his struggle to live life on his own terms, his singing and acting ensuring that his star is on the rise when he's cast in Eugene O'Neill’s play All God's Chillun Got Wings. The Douglass-Lincoln Debates by Douglas D. Miron stars Steffon Sharpless as author-activist publisher, Abolitionist leader and former slave Frederick Douglass; playwright Miron portrays President Abraham Lincoln in this inspirational fact-based historical drama about the three face-to-face meetings of these noble charismatic leaders and statesmen who inspired Americans during the darkest days of the Civil War and who, despite their differences, worked together for the good of all Americans and to save our nation.
