MITCHELVILLE (Development Reading)
October 29, 2020 @ 8:00 am - November 1, 2020 @ 5:00 pm
MITCHELVILLE (Development Reading)
Written by Aurin Squire. Directed by Christopher Windom.
In October, with great excitement, we will have an online reading of the new play Mitchelville by Aurin Squire. When a young man tries to save his Gullah family home, he dives into the history of his family lineage, the Civil War, and the first town of Black freedmen in America. Mitchelville is a story about learning from the past, saving for the future, and keeping a tradition going.
Originally scheduled for this past May, this reading was postponed due to COVID and now will happen online featuring artists from across the country in preparation for a full production during the 2021/22 season.
