Shades of War: A Play September 27, 2008

“Shades of War” tells the true story of Samuel Fraunces, a wealthy African-American business owner and his sacrifice for the American Revolution. He was a private in the army and helped saved George Washington’s life in 1776. The play explores the life of this patriot and unsung hero. Credits include: Rob Anderson (director), Dara Frazier (writer/producer), and starring: David Nathan Scott, Amelia Workman, Martin Fisher, and Devin Laster.

“Shades Of War” is derived from the teleplay “Beyond Harlem” written by Frazier for New York Public Television in December 2005.

The play will be presented in the Countee Cullen auditorium and immediately followed by a question and answer session.
