Plays & Players , 1714 Delancey Place, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Plays and Players, South Camden Theatre Company and Iron Age Theatre are collaborating to bring this powerful work to the Philadelphia regional stage. Voices of a People’s History of the United States brings to life the extraordinary history of ordinary people who built the movements that made the United States what it is today, ending slavery and Jim Crow, protesting war and genocide, advancing gay and women’s rights, and struggling to right wrongs of the day.
Three performances only! Each company will present the work once in their home locale with a repertory cast and special guests, co-directed by Iron Age Theatre’s Artistic Director John Doyle and Plays & Players’ Artistic Director Daniel Student. Iron Age Theatre will open the run on October 21 at 7pm at The Centre Theater in Norristown, South Camden Theatre Company will present the second production on October 27 at 2pm at the Waterfront South Theatre in Camden, New Jersey and the event will conclude with a production and meet and greet at historic Plays & Players Theatre in Philadelphia on November 10 at 8pm.
Alaina Nelson performs a piece originally written and performed by Nina Simone.
