“No dry history lesson here. Theatre Banshee is marking the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War with a deeply affecting reprise of Mine Eyes Hath Seen …its intimate, skillful presentation breaches the pages of history with notable immediacy.”

“Theatre Banshee commemorates the sesquicentennial of end of the bloodiest war in our nation’s history in their tenth-anniversary revival of Mine Eyes Hath Seen, Sean Branney and Leslie Baldwin’s theatrical montage of Civil War tales told “in their own words,” and powerfully so, under Branney’s imaginative direction…”

Can’t wait to get started! The audition sides were so fascinating.
Via Banshee: This production explores the Civil War through the first person writings of those who lived through it.
