Free Performance of “Fire of Freedom” at Alston-Massenburg Center June 19

WAKE FOREST, NC – Mike Wiley Productions will offer a free performance of “Fire of Freedom” on Friday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the Alston-Massenburg Center, 416 N. Taylor St.

“Fire of Freedom” tells the powerful true story of Abraham Galloway, an enslaved man who escaped to freedom and went on to become a Union spy, abolitionist, and political leader during the Civil War. Through this compelling one-man performance, Mike Wiley brings multiple voices to life, guiding audiences through Galloway’s fight for freedom, equality, and citizenship. With minimal set and maximum impact, this moving production offers an engaging and thought-provoking theatrical experience.

Families and children of all ages are invited to attend this free performance, but seating is limited and will be available on a first come basis.

“Fire of Freedom” is part of the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre’s “Arts for All” free community performance series, which is supported by United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County. For more information, contact Renaissance Centre Programs Manager Debra Horton at 919-435-9566 or dhorton@wakeforestnc.gov.
