Live Performance

Duende’s Mission is to educate, inform, and entertain. We do this through the dramatic arts and the various disciplines that go into creating dramatic and literary works. Particular emphasis is placed on performances depicting the history of California and its relevance to life in the twenty-first century.

Performance Archive

Duende offers a menu of plays and dramatic readings for family and adult audiences. Some can be presented at museums, campfires, etc. Others require a theater with light and sound equipment. Some are under an hour in length. Others are full-length.

ABOLITION

ABOLITION tells the story of two friends, Frederick Douglass and John Brown, during the tumultuous decade leading up to the Civil War. Produced as an acclaimed two-man stage play in Sonora and Sacramento, Duende is now in production of a broadcast quality film adaptation.

Learn more about the progress of the film version, as well as the historical background of the stage play.

Theater venues interested in presenting our production of ABOLITION should contact us to discuss the possibilities.
