I'm joined this week by actor, Kathleen McManus, discussing her recent performance in, "Barton Field" - the retelling of Civil War heroine, Clara Barton. It just finished its run at Academy Theatre in Hapeville.If there's a place where history comes alive, where the past is vividly reimagined, andwhere a single woman's voice can evoke the spirit of a nation torn asunder, it's TheAcademy Theatre this November. Barton Field, the newly reimagined one-woman play byJohn Ammerman, brings to life the story of Clara Barton—the fearless 'Angel of theBattlefield'—in a way that only theater can.Set in Georgia, 1865, the play portrays Barton's heroic efforts to establish a nationalcemetery for fallen Union soldiers at Andersonville, shining a light on her courage,struggles, and determination as a pioneering woman in a male-dominated society.With seasoned Atlanta actress Kathleen McManus at the helm, Barton Field offers aunique storytelling experience that vividly captures the atrocities of the Civil War and thepersonal hardships and triumphs that defined Barton's legacy. The play's rich multimediaelements bring to life themes of service, bravery, and the enduring impact of one woman'sdedication to humanity. Barton Field is a must-see for history enthusiasts, theater lovers, nurse practitioners, and anyone inspired by extraordinary women who have changed the world.Running at the Academy Theatre in Atlanta from November 14 to November 23, 2025,Barton Field offers both evening performances and matinee shows. This intimateproduction is a profound tribute to Clara Barton's legacy, blending theatrical artistry witha deep reverence for history. It serves as a powerful reminder of a woman whosecommitment to relief and care during the American Civil War forever altered the courseof our nation's history.
