Pure Theatre Battery Gadsden Cultural Center, Sullivan's Island Presents: Osceola's Muse A collaboration in benefit of the Battery Gadsden Cultural Center
On Sullivan’s Island where Osceola is buried, his spirit still looms. The overgrown remnants of Fort Moultrie batteries give an inkling of the conditions he and his tribe endured while prisoners there. Fables of his bravery and leadership blow on the sea breezes as historians continue to debate the issues of deceit and heroism that framed this important part of South Carolina history.
Partnering with artistic collaborators including Jonathan Green, Osceola’s Muse will include live actors, music, original costumes and scenery along with audience interaction inside and around Battery Gadsden to dramatize the Seminoles’ time on Sullivan’s Island where the tribe was held captive. Using artistic license, this highly interactive theatre experience will juxtapose authentic history with spectacle to provide an entertaining experience that is historically based as well as enlightening.
