SUMMARY:Newton Theatre Company presents: A Medal for Willie
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual production of William Branch’s A Medal for Willie\, a powerful play which examines the intersection of segregation and racism during a time when both were permitted to flourish. Set in a small town during the Jim Crow era with eerily contemporary parallels\, A Medal for Willie serves as a reminder that bias and supremacy must always be challenged and that change can occur in even the smallest pockets of our society. \nThe play will be followed by an audience Q&A\, with a panel of the cast\, directors\, and members of Families Organizing for Racial Justice (FORJ). \nAfter the show\, please stay for a talkback conversation facilitated by FORJ. We will explore the themes of bias\, prejudice\, and structural racism embedded within the play and confront its modern-day relevance. Theater offers a compelling and interesting vehicle for us to delve into challenging conversations with honesty and bravery. It is our hope that this talkback conversation is engaging\, thought-provoking\, and furthers our understanding of how we can interrupt the corrosive effects of racism. \nReserve your ticket here.  Log on at 7:45 to live music by Danny Rivera! \nThis production is made possible by a generous grant from the Harmony Foundation\, and is being produced in partnership with Overdue: Confronting Race and Racism in Newton. We are grateful to both of these organizations for their support.
