Step back into the birth of a nation as award-winning actor and historian Bryan Austin brings to life James Madison, the brilliant architect of the American federalism. In this riveting one-man show, journey through Madison’s intellectual evolution—from his formative days at the College of New Jersey to his pivotal role in drafting the U.S. Constitution, and shaping early American politics. Through rich anecdotes, personal reflections, and timeless political philosophy, experience the wit and wisdom of one of the founding fathers who forged the identity of a young republic. In an age where we still wrestle with the partisanships and institutions forged in our beginnings, this performance offers a powerful, intimate portrayal of the man behind the ideals that continue to shape America today.
