The overgrown remnants of Fort Moultrie Batteries give an inkling of the conditions he and his tribe endured while prisoners there. Street names like Osceola and Thompson Avenues remind us of the island’s conflicted role in the Seminole Wars. Fables of his bravery and leadership continue to blow on the sea breezes. In cooperation with the Battery Gadsden Cultural Center, this pivotal historical episode will be dramatized near the Fort Moultrie battery where he was held captive and died.
This nearly forgotten story of the Seminole tribe’s time on the island will come alive on Osceola’s Muse. This immersive theater experience will include live actors, music, artifacts, original costumes and scenery along with audience interaction inside and around Battery Gadsden (1917 I’On Ave.) for four performances October 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2019 at 7:30.

Content Advisories: The last scene is about Osceola’s funeral.
Audience members should expect to be standing/walking during the performance. The venue is handicapped accessible but since the play takes about an hour and a half, if someone can’t walk or stand that long they’d be advised to bring a portable stool or chair which they’d have to carry.
