"Voices of Conscience" Performance & Discussion
to
The Valley-wide arts series Voices of Conscience will present a performance and discussion event at Lehigh Valley Friends Meeting in Bethlehem, Pa. The event is open to the public, with parking in the lot next to the meetinghouse.
A facilitated discussion follows performances by guest artists Basement Poetry and Grace Adele Hochella. Basement Poetry will perform selected poems from their January 8 event Identify , which focuses on themes of racial identity and discrimination. Grace Hochella, accompanied by Ken Purcell, will share a segment from her one-person play, Spirituals, Stories and Songs – a historical journey through African American experience as shown by way of slave narratives, personal accounts, stories, and music.
The Voices of Conscience series was conceived by theatre groups Allentown Public Theatre and Crowded Kitchen Players. “In today's increasingly divided America,” says Allentown Public Theatre artistic director Anna Russell, “we believe that art can provide the space and the spark to create the kind of dialog needed to bring communities together.” www.lehighvoc.com
