University of Saint Joseph Presents FREEDOM: IN 3 ACTS, 11/06

Freedom: In 3 Acts comes to Saint Joseph University just November 6, 2014 7:30 pm.

Have you seen Bated Breath's gripping, exploration of the struggle for civil rights through song? Fresh from their summer performance at The International Festival of Arts and Ideas, Bated Breath Theatre Company will perform Freedom: In 3 Acts at The University of Saint Joseph.

The performance on November 6, 2014 at 7:30 will follow a 7:00 tour of The Amistad Center for Art & Culture's exhibit - I Write Your Name in the University's art gallery.

Freedom: In 3 Acts is an original play developed by Bated Breath in collaboration with The Amistad Center for Art & Culture. Drawing inspiration from Emancipation!, an Amistad Center exhibit featuring artifacts and images from the time of the Emancipation Proclamation to the present, Freedom: In 3 Acts explores emancipation and the struggle for civil rights through song in three short, theatrical vignettes. Freedom: In 3 Acts features locally based and internationally renowned vocalist, Jolie Rocke Brown, in the role of Anderson.

The Amistad Center... founded in 1987, owns and exhibits a vital collection of 7,000 works of art, artifacts and popular culture objects that documents the experience, expressions and history of people of African descent.

The Amistad Center is an independently incorporated and managed not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, located in the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.

The Amistad Center is not related to the many other organizations in Connecticut and across the country who share the name Amistad. Amistad is a popular choice as it remembers a significant event and calls to mind African American strength and history.
