This new, exciting full length 200 year voyage through the history of both sides of Stephen E Davis’s family is a testament to it’s running theme: faith, perseverance
through adversity, love
of family, service
to country and education
for the future. The title comes from formerly enslaved individuals who called the end of slavery “The Break”
since they could not pronounce emancipation.
The play is based on painstaking diligence and many years long research of documents, landmarks and interviews of living family members. It is a microcosm of most Black families in the South during and after slavery up to the
Great Migration and the move to Northern areas that offered better opportunities i.e. jobs and education.
Times, dates, and cities where it will be performed next year will be posted on this website. Please look for that information later this year. In the meantime, please feel to shop our Ecommerce store with our branded products and partners, once this website is updated. very soon.
