The One Man Show Tour of:
The Starry Road to Freedom
The Starry Road To Freedom is a One Man Show on the life of the great Abolitionist Frederick Douglass, written and performed by Darius Wallace. This show is a journey through Frederick’s life growing up as a slave on the plantation, until the moment he becomes free. Frederick Douglass’ freedom began with learning how to read. He was fascinated with the power of the written and spoken word. Family audiences will witness Darius Wallace transform into several different characters of influence on Douglass’s life through song,
speeches, monologue and poetry.
Darius’s hope is that audiences will be inspired by Frederick Douglass’s ability to overcome adversity
through the power and inspiration of the written and spoken word. With this power we can not only transform ourselves but also the world around us.
This show has versions appropriate for 3rd - 12th, college & universities, organizations, and theaters.

- Missy McNatt, Education Specialist & DC National History Day Coordinator at National Archives and Records Administration
