Live Theater at Chester Senior Center

The Chester Senior Center invites everyone to attend our annual Theatre production on Thursday, May 24, 2012!  This year's production is "To Cross an Ocean Four Centuries Long."  It is a riveting story of the critical moments in the lives of three 18th century enslaved women: Phillis Wheatley, Abby Jay and an unnamed enslaved woman who shared a household with John Woolman.  The story depicts struggle, victory, labor, and sacrifice in helping to build a nation!  The play will be enhanced with music and African American spirituals.  The story is written by Dr. Amanda Kemp of Theater for Transformation.  The morning show will be a 1 woman performance and the evening show will be a full cast complement!  You don't want to miss either performance.
