LANCASTER PA HOTELS | HERSHEY PA HOTELS

Two evenings are dedicated to one-act plays about black history.

Theatre for Transformation, a multi-racial spirit-led ensemble, will present the performances.

The first is “Sister Friend,” a play infused with spirituals and gospel music that delves into the friendship between enslaved celebrity poet Phillis Wheatly and her best friend, Obour Tanner.

The second, “Show Me the Franklins!,” highlights the enslaved people in Benjamin Franklin’s households in London, Paris and Philadelphia. The play is a mix of poetry, ritual and song, and it promises to challenge the viewer to consider to whom or to what they are enslaved.

The shows start at 7:30 p.m. both days.
