"The Road Home" Charleston Premiere

Event Details

"The Road Home" is a one-act play created from personal accounts of people who were caught in the maelstrom of the early years of the Civil War. It explores many different lives, including wives, soldiers', diplomats, doctors and nurses tales, the moving opinions of Frederick Douglass, General Beauregard and others, all wrapped in music that spurred the hearts of both sides as they fought, prayed and longed for home. The play previewed in Hilton Head for the Lowcountry Civil War Roundtable. Robert Eberly, former president said, “I highly recommend "The Road Home," it brings the Civil War to life in poignant vignettes, beautifully tied together with great music."
