THE NIGHT THOREAU SPENT IN JAIL
By Robert E. Lee and Jerome Lawrence
Directed by Karen Paisley

Produced around the country under the American Playwrights Theatre program, this drama opens with Thoreau in jail for refusing to pay taxes to a government conducting a war of aggression in Mexico. Scenes portray his return from Harvard where he idolized Emerson, his attempt to establish a transcendentalist school, his career as a handyman and tutor in Emerson's household, his romance and his friendship with an illiterate cellmate.
Ages: All ages welcome!
