Buildings and Grounds committee meeting at St. Peter’s parish hall, 7pm. For more information contact Curt Kraemer.
In March of 1857, the largest sale of human beings in the history in the United States took place at a racetrack in Savannah, Georgia. During the two days of the sale, raindrops fell unceasingly on the racetrack. It was almost as though the heavens were crying. So, too, fell teardrops from many of the 436 men, women, and children who were auctioned off during the two days. The sale would thereafter be known as “the weeping time.”
This play is the first theatrical production of the Sanctuary Performing Arts (SPA) inside St. Peter’s church, will dramatically portray the events of that fateful day. This event marks the fourth consecutive year St. Peter’s and SPA joins with the Coalition on Diversity and Equity (CoDE) to sponsor an event marking the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Adapted for the stage and directed by Ms. Laurie Maria Cabral who has a long career in community theater in CT. She was founder of the Hole in the Wall Community Theater in New Britain. A total of 17 people will bring this to life for us all. This is a must-see event, and we anticipate a sold-out crowd. Reception to follow with a conversation session with the cast in the parish hall.
