Arena Stage is presenting the world-premiere musical American Prophet. Created by Arena favorite Charles Randolph-Wright (Arena’s Born for This: The BeBe Winans Story, Broadway’s Motown the Musical) and Grammy Award winner Marcus Hummon (“Bless the Broken Road”), American Prophet is powered by Douglass’ own speeches and writings and filled with soaring new melodies. Cornelius Smith Jr. (ABC’s Scandal, All My Children) will star as the fierce abolitionist.
