As a class, we will witness the following event. Please meet
at the doors of the Commons Auditorium, April 1st at 6:15 pm to be counted
in roll call.
Participants in the “Living Museum” will dress in period
costumes and take on the role of an historic figure or event. The portrayals
are powerful! You will see Dr. Marie-Thérèse Champagne as she becomes
Christine de Pizan, a 14thcentury professional writer; Ben Stubs as Ernest
Hemingway, and Tricia Hartley as Harriet Tubman along with a cast of
characters.
We have also enticed Nielah Black-Spears, an internally
known singer and dancer, to sing a medley of songs used during the underground
movement. In addition, Dr. Drucilla Thomas from Pensacola State College will
sing a medley of Fannie Crosby songs - Tonya Jackson will portray Ms.
Crosby. There is so much more! You’ll see Mr. Jonathan Means as J.R. Tolkien,
Sara Luczyk as the Wounded Soldier, Paris Lovette as Wilma Rudolph and Thomas
Martin as Paul Robeson. Ryan Martini will share his powerful story in his
self-portrayal of “A Different Face of Poverty.”
This annual Common Ground end of the year Big Event is a
departure from anything you have ever seen! Please join us as we create a
platform for continuing the exploration of stereotypes, myths, and
misperceptions in the Commons Auditorium, April 1st at 6:30 pm.
In addition to this event, you will receive Readings
(#5) and a Worksheet via Email. Please use the week to complete the
worksheet and bring the Hardcopy to next weeks class.
