Local actor plays Brown in ‘Anvil’

By Staff | Sep 18, 2009

Shepherdstown's Joe Yates as John Brown

“The Anvil,” a two-act dramatization of the trial of abolitionist John Brown, is based on the record of the trial, the writings of John Brown, and eyewitness reports. With a talented cast of local citizens, led by Joe Yates of Shepherdstown as Brown, this stirring courtroom drama will once again bring history to life in the Jefferson County Courthouse where Brown was tried in 1859.

Directed by Shepherd University’s Dr. Robert Willgoos (History) and Dr. Joyce Webb (Communications); Produced by Jerry Bayer & Dan Lutz.
