Based on the true story of our nation’s longest-surviving Buffalo Soldier and veteran of the Spanish American war, with book, music and lyrics by Bruce Miller. This dramatic play tells of the brave African-American soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalries, who served our country well with little of the recognition they deserved. In 1996, Buffalo Soldier was selected as one of the Best American Plays for Young Audiences.
