<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Armed with the US Constitution, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall devoted his life to championing justice and equality for all people. This biographical play spans his remarkable 58-year career while
highlighting his warmth and sharp wit. A powerful tour-de-force about Marshall’s transformative journey from his early days as a young lawyer upending the landmark “separate but equal” decision to his time serving on the highest court in the nation. Starring
film, TV, and regional theatre veteran Lester Purry, <i>Thurgood</i> is an inspiring tribute to a real American hero who embodied courage, integrity, and determination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
