Before the Alamo. Before the legend. There was a man who refused to surrender his conscience.

Washington, D.C., 1830. Congressman David Crockett of Tennessee takes the floor of the United States House of Representatives to challenge President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act.

A celebrated frontiersman, soldier, and politician, Crockett finds himself increasingly isolated as he confronts his colleagues over the forced removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands.

Defying his president, his party, and the political establishment, Crockett must choose between protecting his career and defending what he believes is right.

Inspired by Crockett's own remarks before Congress, CROCKETT'S (NEXT TO) LAST STAND brings a lesser-known chapter of American history to life through humor, defiance, and an extraordinary demonstration of personal conviction.

From the halls of Congress to the fateful road toward Texas, this compelling solo drama explores the meaning of leadership, the responsibility of elected officials, and the courage required to stand alone.

​
