FREEDOM RIDERS: The Civil Rights Musical tells the story of the real-life Freedom Riders who challenged the status quo of the 1960s by riding interstate buses in mixed racial groups through the South, challenging local laws and customs that enforced segregation. Based on the lives of Diane Nash, Congressman John Lewis, and the other riders, Freedom Riders is a soaring portrait of American race relations and a testament to the power of nonviolent direct action in uncovering injustice. Winner of the New York Musical Festival award for Outstanding Music and the Social Relevance and Impact Award. Broadway's Deon'te Goodman (currently performing in HAMILTON) will be flying from NYC to LA to portray civil rights activist John Lewis in this special performance of FREEDOM RIDERS: In Concert on Monday, January 20th (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day) at Feinstein's at Vitello's. Deon'te will be joined by other FREEDOM RIDERS veterans, including Payson Lewis, Meagan Flint, Jennifer Sun Bell, Eboni Muse, Kevin Burroughs, Nathan Nonhof, and Erin Vanderhyde.
Richard Allen and Taran Gray are emerging activist artists who refuse to let the modern times be the epitaph for the Civil Rights Movement, allowing advocacy of justice for minorities and the disenfranchised to die. They are leaders in a revival of remembrance. Without preaching or judgment, they are lifting their voices to sing until earth and heaven ring with the harmonies of unsung heroes. Richard and Taran are San Diego natives turned producers of award winning musical theater with a civil rights message who don't ever seem to take a break or rest from their mission to initiate conversation on equality and acceptance through their historically accurate musicals, FREEDOM RIDERS: The Civil Rights Musical and BAYARD: A New Musical.
