Soul of the Senator
Live at the Hillberry Gateway Theater. June 27–28.

An African-American Republican senator. A school shooting miles from home. A family forced to confront the very laws he helped pass.

Some conversations get called difficult. Uncomfortable. Taboo. We call them necessary — and Soul of the Senator brings one of them to the stage at this year's Obsidian Theatre Festival.

Swipe to see the faces bringing it to life. Meet the cast.
