WHEN THE BREAK HAPPENED IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY

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: faithperseverance 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.
