Unity Theatre Presents - "Ben Butler"

Don’t miss this smart and funny discourse on race, protocol and our sense of humanity. The sharply comic play takes place in the middle of the Civil War, 1861 at Virginia’s Union-held Fort Monroe under the command of General Benjamin Butler. When three escaped slaves show up seeking sanctuary, General Butler is faced with an impossible moral dilemma – follow the letter of the law and return the escapees back to the Confederacy, or make a game-changing move that could alter the course of US history.

Ben Butler is a Main Stage production being presented with strict limited seating in order to accommodate social distancing guidelines, masks will be required for all persons at the theatre, and safe distancing will be followed at all times by staff, patrons, and crew.
