Tolton — America’s First Black Priest

  • St. Patrick Parish 408 West Poplar Street Walla Walla, WA, 99362 United States (map)

The nationally touring theater production of Tolton will be premiering in Walla Walla. The show is about the historical black figure Augustus Tolton who defied the racial prejudice of his time to become the first black priest in the United States.

His story is one of courage, perseverance, and grace. He is an unsung hero, and MLK before his time.

The show stars Jim Coleman as Tolton. Coleman has appeared in Ant-Man, Dolphin Tale, and the Quad. An incredible cast accompanies him on screen with inspiring voices, humor, and compelling performances.
