Description
Frederick Douglas NOW Created and Performed by Roger Guenveur Smith May 1-4, 2025 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OKLAHOMA CONTEMPORARY
Event Details
Roger Guenveur Smith returns to OKC Rep with his signature solo performance of FREDERICK DOUGLASS NOW—inspired by the life and work of the self-liberated abolitionist and pioneering feminist Frederick Douglass. Smith has edited Douglass' class 19th Century texts into a jazz-infused narrative, bookended by original writing to produce the kind of edgy stylistic mash-up of which vital contemporary theater is made.
