THIS PRODUCTION HAS CONCLUDED.
A sweeping theatrical adventure, tracing the rise and fall of an immigrant family from Montgomery, Alabama, to Wall Street.
From a small general store on Montgomery’s Commerce Street to unimaginable wealth on Wall Street, the Lehman Brothers epitomized the American Dream. Together, they built a firm that would shape — and later shake — the very foundation of global finance. The Lehman Trilogy explores ambition, identity, and the price of unchecked success.

The Real Cost of the American Dream
Join us for an illuminating ASF Insights discussion that will explore a small family business’s rise from operating a small general store to becoming a global financial institution. Tracing the origins of the Lehman Brothers corporation, which notably began in Montgomery in 1844, Dr. Wells examines its expansion and its ultimate collapse during the global financial crisis of 2008. This conversation will engage themes of entrepreneurship, economic transformation, legacy, and American capitalism, offering historical and economic context for ASF’s production of The Lehman Trilogy.
Speaker: Dr. Wyatt Wells, History and World Cultures, Auburn University at Montgomery
