“Abolitionists’ Museum Audience Reaction: In this clip, an audience member spontaneously interrupts a performance of Abolitionists’ museum, responding to the character of Nat Turner on the stage as if confronting her family’s past in the moment: “Nat Turner killed my family!” she cries out. This extraordinary expression of emotion led to a post-show discussion in which audience members — many direct descendents of Virginians from the early days of our nation — shared their takes on history and their experiences in the present. This is an example of the types of discussions that theater can help facilitate.”
