Created in association with the Virginia Historical Society
Based on the life of our nation’s longest-surviving Buffalo Soldier and veteran of the Spanish-American War, this dramatic play with music tells the heroic story of the brave soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalries, who served our country well, with little of the recognition they deserved. Named one of the “Best American Plays for Young Audiences” in 1996, Buffalo Soldier is the only play to have been performed at the Pentagon. Ages 8 +
