Description

Roger Guenveur Smith returns to perform this theatrical monologue inspired by the life and work of Frederick Douglass, the self-liberated abolitionist and pioneering feminist. Smith has edited Douglass’s classic 19th-century texts into a jazz-infused narrative, bookended by his original writing, to produce the kind of edgy stylistic mash-up that makes up vital contemporary theater.

Performing Arts Serving Acadiana

Every great city boasts a performing arts powerhouse like PASA. For decades, we’ve brought world-class performances wonderfully close to home, bringing global icons to the Heymann Center. From Tony Bennett and Roberta Flack to Ben Folds, acclaimed opera productions, and our nation’s leading dance companies, PASA audiences experience legendary talent without ever leaving town.

Our vision is bold: to ignite even greater demand for the performing arts in our community. Beyond the stage, we fuel growth through master classes, workshops, and professional development opportunities that strengthen our local creative ecosystem. These offerings have always mattered, but in a world of restricted travel, they’ve become indispensable for artists right here at home.

Season after season, PASA’s impact expands. We are vibrant, vital, and on the rise—introducing new programming, nurturing talent, and widening our circle of influence with each passing year. Proceeds from this event strengthen PASA and fuel our next plan for impact.
