Rebirthing King/Rebirthing America:
Help us celebrate the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and
Inauguration Day with an improvisational performance by the Village
Playback Theatre on Sunday, January 25th, from 3 to 5 PM at Judson
Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South in Greenwich Village.
This interactive presentation will recall King's Riverside Church
speech in which he spoke of the triplets of racism, militarism, and
poverty. Together the theatre company and audience will
reflect on ways to rebirth an America that celebrates diversity,
promotes peace, and cares for all so that no one is in need.
This production is co-sponsored by Judson Memorial Church, The
Village Playback Theatre, and Pax Christi Metro New York.
Tickets are $25 and will benefit the work for peace of Pax Christi
Metro New York. Order tickets now through
www.nycharities.org or
directly from Pax Christi Metro New York. They'll make a great
Christmas/holiday gift.
