THURGOOD 

by George Stevens, Jr.

SUMMER 2025 AT BARTER'S SMITH THEATRE

Thurgood follows the remarkable career of the man who would become the very first Black Supreme Court Justice in American history, Thurgood Marshall. Starting with his early days working as a young lawyer on the cornerstone Brown v. Board case in favor of overturning existing "separate but equal" legislation, this one man tour-de-force showcases the courage, integrity, and determination that skyrocketed a humble civil rights activist into becoming a true American hero. 

* THURGOOD is part of Barter’s Black Stories Black Voices series.

Barter Theatre is partially funded by:

This project was supported [in part] by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. 

A special thanks to the Town of Abingdon, Washington County, and the Virginia Tourism Corporation for their support.
