Inspired by the Ken Burns PBS documentary series about the CIVIL WAR,
Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn and lyricists Jack Murphy and Gregory
Boyd created a series of pop, country and gospel songs that are based
on letters written by soldiers, speeches from Abraham Lincoln and
Frederick Douglass, and poetry from Walt Whitman, Sojourner Truth and
Maya Angelou. The show was nominated for 4 Tony Awards including Best
Musical. Showbiz Players have received multiple awards for performing
this musical. They last performed it at the National Underground
Railroad Freedom Center in 2006 for the Tall Stacks Celebration. This
will be the 3rd version of the production and Frank Wildhorn has
provided a new song for this production. The production is a powerful
and moving experience. It is not about the battles or who won or lost.
It looks at that time in our history through the eyes of the people
who were there. It is a true history lesson for all of us. Please
Note: There will be historical photographs projected throughout this
production, some graphic in nature. Performance Dates & Times: Friday,
