The Story of “Mr. Civil Rights.” 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, Thurgood is
an inspiring tribute to a real American hero who embodied courage, integrity, and determination.
Written by George Stevens, Jr.
Directed by Lou Bellamy
Act I - 60 Min, Act II - 55 Min (plus a 15-min intermission)
