This riveting production chronicles the extraordinary life and career of Thurgood Marshall, the iconic civil rights leader and Supreme Court Justice of the United States from 1967 to 1991. He was the Court's first African-American justice. Set against the backdrop of pivotal historical moments, including the rise of Jim Crow and Brown v. Board of Education, THURGOOD is a frank, extraordinary look at Thurgood Marshall’s journey to influence justice, racial relations, and the law in America.

Led by acclaimed actor James Ellison III (BROKE-OLOGY at B Street Theatre, BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY, SMART PEOPLE and SWEAT at Capital Stage, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at Sacramento Theatre Company) in the titular role of Thurgood Marshall, audiences will be transported through time in this one-person play, as they witness the milestones and challenges that shaped Marshall's legacy. Mentored by Mr. Wheatley since he was 18, Ellison is also the artistic director of Celebration Arts.
