About this Event
Experience the Untold Story of Unsung Heroes – FREEDA by Sir Ervin Williams
Step into history and witness the powerful story of The Six Triple Eight, the all-Black battalion of women who defied the odds and served with distinction during World War II. FREEDA brings their legacy to life in a gripping, heartfelt, and often humorous dramatic reading that you won’t want to miss!
When Walter, an eager reporter, arrives at the home of 85-year-old Freeda for an interview, he expects a simple story. What he gets instead is a journey through time—told through Freeda’s vivid memories, emotional flashbacks, and razor-sharp wit. As she recounts the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of her and her fellow soldiers—women nearly erased from history—you’ll laugh, cry, and walk away inspired.
Join us for this unforgettable theatrical event and stay after the show for an exclusive Q&A with the director, Sir Ervin Williams, and the cast.
Don’t just read about history—experience it.
