Still at Premiere Stages

Still, written by Kean University alumnus Benjamin V. Marshall, is a historical play centered on the true story of William Still, a conductor of the Underground Railroad, and Peter Friedman, a freed slave, during a significant meeting in the 1850s. The production, hosted by Premiere Stages at the Bauer Boucher Theatre Center, explores themes of trust, belonging, and family against the backdrop of America's painful history with slavery. Directed by John J. Wooten, the play is part of the Liberty Live series, which aims to dramatize important moments in New Jersey's history. The cast includes Carl Hendrick Louis as William Still and Brian D. Coats as Peter Friedman.
