“Acting is my passion. And, I love history! Also, side note I'm from Dover, Delaware. I went to Fred Fifer III Middle school which is in the Caesar Rodney School District. Caesar Rodney. Declaration of Independence midnight storm rider Caesar Rodney! So weird right?! My grandfather's parents were born into slavery. He is the youngest of 13 siblings. He is 81 years old.

Show Dates: 9/16 17, 19! https://givebutter.com/Quill
Show Blurb: In September 1787, the United States of America faces financial and political ruin. In September 1787, Philadelphia’s Jacob Shallus family faces financial and marital ruin. In September 1787, Black lives are already ruined in countless ways. Three words may offer hope: We the People.

Not only did Jacob Shallus pen the U.S. Constitution, but he is also a long, lost relative of playwright Dlugolecki! This full-length play with music asks, “Where am I in the Constitution?” Following each performance, the audience will have the opportunity to engage with a Constitutional scholar, the actors and production crew while enjoying Colonial-era inspired treats. (Sunday’s matinee ticket price covers the show and homemade authentic English tea sandwiches, cakes, scones w/variety of teas and Squirrel Juice!)
