On October 6th and 7th, the nationally touring live production of Tolton: From Slave to Priest is coming to the Visitation School Auditorium in Kansas City, MO.

Tolton is performed by actor Jim Coleman and directed by Leonaro Defilippis of Saint Luke Productions.

The live theater production tells the true story of Father Augustus Tolton who escaped slavery and defied racial prejudice to become America’s first Black priest.

In an exciting blend of cinema and stage entertainment, this riveting live performance stars Jim Coleman as Tolton, alongside an incredible cast on the set’s giant screen.
The stunning musical score is based on traditional African American spirituals. These inspiring melodies are sung by the incredible Elissa Sanders as Mama Tolton, Father Tolton’s loving, feisty and saintly mother.

The national touring production of Tolton is a tale of one man’s perseverance against overwhelming odds and his compelling courage to bridge the racial divide of his time.
