Together, we’ll reflect on its lasting relevance and the urgent lessons it continues to offer.We look forward to sharing this powerful performance with you—rain or shine. ... See MoreSee Less

Bleacher seating is available for general admission, but we welcome attendees to bring their own folding chairs for greater comfort, and please consider temperature's in the 60s when dressing.In the event of rain, the performance will be moved indoors to the Customs House Museum itself.
