Racing the Night
June 29 @ 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Brand new for the 2026 summer season! “Racing the Night” is the unbelievably true story of Susanna Bolling, a 16-year-old girl who found herself in possession of information that could change the course of the Revolutionary War. Follow Susanna’s story in this vibrant and gripping new half-hour mini-musical by composer/playwright Gary Spell. Set in revolutionary Virginia, “Racing the Night” tells the tale of Susanna’s secret midnight ride to outsmart British forces and deliver crucial intelligence to the Continental Army. With a dynamic score and an all-teen cast, “Racing the Night” celebrates the power of youthful courage and unsung heroism, proving that even the quietest voices can echo through history. It may be the most important Revolutionary War story you’ve never heard.
The mini-musicals are sponsored in part by Carolina Designs Realty and Patriot Gear Company and will take place in the Duck Amphitheater (1200 Duck Rd) for two performances on Monday, June 29, 2026.
