DVIDS – News – Post-theatre fame for Medal of Honor recipient, actor
FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. Formerly known as the Lee Theatre, often referred to as the Lee Playhouse, one of the oldest brick and mortar facilities on the post was officially renamed today as the Beaty Theater in honor of a native of Richmond and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient.
The renaming of the theater after U.S. Army Sgt. Powhatan Beaty was prompted by a Congressional mandate in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021 to remove or change the names of Department of Defense assets that commemorate the Confederate States of America or anyone who voluntarily served under them.
According to the Naming Commission’s final report, which considered him a potential namesake for the entire facility, Beaty was born into a slave family in Richmond who eventually gained their freedom and moved to Ohio in when he reached the age of 12. The proclamation authorized black men to serve in the military. In 1863, Beaty enlisted in the 5th Regiment of American Colored Troops, which fought in several local battles during the Civil War.
During a small ceremony outside the 1950-built theater, Garrison Commander Col. James Hoyman emphasized the importance of commemorating soldiers like Beaty.
What we want to make sure we represent on this installation is the power of non-commissioned officers, Hoyman said.
Although he enlisted as a private, Beatys’ leadership was immediately evident and he was promoted to SGT on his second day of service, the Naming Commission wrote in its final report. Beaty showed repeated bravery and courage in subsequent missions and battles. Fighting in the crucial Battle of New Market Heights in 1864, Beaty took command of the remaining troops after all the officers were killed or wounded, rounding them up and leading them in a new final assault. They captured the Confederate position, achieving tactical and strategic success. Beaty received the Medal of Honor for his actions. By the end of the war, Beaty had fought in 13 battles.
The people doing the work to make this happen are non-commissioned officers, Hoyman said, addressing a few dozen soldiers from the 244th Quartermaster Battalion with Mamma Mia! cast members who performed the musical at the theater soon after.
As a sponsor of the theater here for nine years, I want to say that the 244th Quartermaster Battalion is very honored to do this with the garrison, said battalion commander Lt. Col. Michael Martin.
The ceremony ended with the unveiling of the Beaty Theater’s new sign on the theater marquee, commemorating a soldier who, fittingly enough for the venue, toured the country following his many years of military service as a successful actor.
