Mississippi Summer: A play by Art Feinglass

November 17 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST

You’re invited to a live performance of Mississippi Summer by Art Feinglass!

This dramatic play about the 1960’s civil right movement centers on the friendship between Stokely Carmichael, the charismatic SNCC leader who launched the Black Power movement, and a young Jewish volunteer from New York who joined the struggle against racism. The play runs 90-minutes and is suitable for children over the age of 12. Tickets are pay what you wish, but we recommend a contribution of $20. This can be paid by check, card, or cash at the door.

The play is based on the playwright’s personal experience as a civil rights worker in Jackson, Mississippi in 1965 and on the journal he kept at the time. Mississippi Summer had a successful run in Seattle and at The Lambs Club in New York.
