SUMMARY:THE RECLAMATION OF MADISON HEMINGS
LOCATION:The Marinello Little Theatre @ JCU
DESCRIPTION:GENERAL ADMISSION to Ensemble Theatre's production of THE RECL
 AMATION OF MADISON HEMINGS. With “Reclamation” Ensemble welcomes back 
 playwright Charles Smith to our stage. Originally commissioned by Indiana 
 Repertory Theatre and inspired by historical events\, Charles Smith’s co
 mpelling drama offers a deeply human look at the complexities of American 
 history and the stories that continue to shape our nation. It’s 1866\, o
 ne year after the end of the Civil War. Madison Hemings\, son of Thomas Je
 fferson and Sally Hemings\, and Israel Jefferson\, formerly enslaved footm
 an\, return to their birthplace of Monticello in hopes of reuniting with I
 srael’s brother. Finding the formerly majestic estate near ruin\, Madiso
 n attempts to claim what’s rightfully his by stripping the architectural
  features of the house he helped build. Both men are confronted with their
  conflicting feelings about the man who wrote “all men are created equal
 .” Israel advises Madison to consider the memories of the other families
 \, hundreds of people\, who were enslaved at Monticello\, rather than load
 ing down the wagon they need to carry them back to Ohio. When their wagon 
 collapses under the weight of the salvaged load\, they are forced to caref
 ully consider the main question of the play—what do we need to keep with
  us as we move through this world\, and what should we leave behind? Ensem
 ble patrons will remember past Ensemble Theatre productions of Charles Smi
 th plays Freeman of Color\, Knock me a Kiss\, The Gospel According to Jame
 s\, Jelly Belly\, and Golden Leaf Ragtime Blues.  “Smith’s dialogue is
  an intricate dance between the personal and the political\, both tangled 
 around the ideals of a nation founded on ‘self evident’ truths that so
 und noble in theory but didn’t apply to millions of people.” —Chicag
