Sharing History’s Greatest Stories
When a son of the military becomes an actor/writer/producer and creatively focuses on the military, you get a wonderful exposé into the story behind the stories. Watch Him Fly, the brainchild of screen star Leon Pridgen, who fascinated with the infamous Tuskegee Airmen story, researched the man who started it all, General Benjamin O. Davis Jr.
Benjamin Davis – Watch Him Fly is a one-man stage play that chronicles the extraordinarily fascinating life of Ben O. Davis Jr. From his childhood to his love of flight, to West Point, to combat, and his post-military career, the trailblazer’s struggles and the triumphs that hardened his mettle and honed his tenacity to make him the accomplished leader he would become are uncovered as a historically-based teaching tool for future generations of leaders.
J. Leon Pridgen II brings Ben’s story to life. This is not your typical one-man stage play but a theatrical production combining sight, sound, and feel, creating an individual experience for each audience member that resonates with schools and general audiences alike.
