Reclamation of Madison Hemings – Podcast Theater Review

Can you shake loose the pain of the past and reclaim your legacy?  Shortly after the end of the Civil War two former slaves ruminate on their experiences living and working within Monticello, the estate of former President Thomas Jefferson. In doing so they find themselves reunited in spirit with family and friends who lived and died along-side them in bondage providing what little love and support they were able to find in a cruel and oppressive system.

“The Reclamation of Madison Hemings” directed by Chuck Smith is onstage at the American Blues Theater through March 24, 2024.

This theater review by Reno Lovison includes impressions of the ABT’s new home and a recommendations for dining in the area.
