    The Ensemble Theatre presents Constant Star (the story of Ida B. Wells), by Tazewell Thompson.

    Directed by Ron Jones
    Collaboration with Lone Star College–Cy Fair
    Drama with Music • Regional Premiere • General Audiences

    This powerful bio-drama is a bold look at the life of civil rights pioneer, suffragette and outspoken activist Ida B. Wells, a passionate, fiery champion of equality for women and black Americans.  The daughter of freed slaves, Wells was a newspaper editor and publisher, co-founder of the NAACP, mother, wife, and the single most powerful leader in the anti-lynching campaign in America. Her outspoken nature, tenacious spirit and refusal to assimilate are portrayed in the life of this often overlooked African American leader in this production interspersed with classic Negro spirituals.
