Arts All Over: Abolitionists' Museum

In Sheri Bailey’s thought-provoking play Abolitionists’ Museum, wax figures of some of history’s most influential abolitionists come to life when a Confederate flag is added to their display. What begins as a question of historical context quickly becomes a powerful debate over memory, symbolism, trauma, truth-telling, and the responsibility of how we represent the past.
Arts All Over is a free, small-scale pilot program sponsored by Virginia Beach Cultural Affairs and designed to bring the performing arts, of all genres, to people in their own neighborhoods. This series explores the theme of “home” through theater, music, and dance.
