Historical figures and unknown soldiers reflect on aspects of the journey which continues today.

Directed by ElizaBeth Young of Newtown, CIVIL RIGHTS: FROM THE WAR TO THE MOVEMENT features the talents of Ken Anderson, Tony Benedetto, Matthew Cavataro, Rob Frangione, Kevin Harris, Karl Hingman, Randell Moody and Brittany Wallace.

Tickets for this special event are $10. Attendees are invited to stay after the performance for a Q&A with the director and actors.
