Experience the Power, the Mystery, and the Legacy!

Step into the tension‑filled world of A Soldier’s Play, the explosive drama that won the 1982 Pulitzer Prize and continues to shake audiences to their core. Set on a segregated U.S. Army base in Louisiana during World War II, this gripping mystery pulls you into the investigation of a murdered African American sergeant—unraveling secrets, exposing prejudice, and confronting the harsh realities of justice, identity, and the human spirit.

Through unforgettable characters and razor‑sharp dialogue, Charles Fuller’s masterpiece doesn’t just tell a story—it demands reflection, sparks conversation, and ignites emotion.

This is theatre that challenges. Theatre that transforms. Theatre that stays with you.

In true Willis Richardson Players fashion, this production celebrates the power of performance to educate, uplift, and unite our community. By shining a light on the African American experience and honoring the legacy of pioneering playwright Willis Richardson, we invite audiences to connect with history, embrace cultural understanding, and feel the impact of storytelling that still resonates today.

Don’t miss this unforgettable event!

Join the Willis Richardson Players as we bring this award‑winning American classic to life on stage. Prepare for an evening of intensity, inspiration, and artistry that will leave you talking long after the curtain falls.
