Arts Presents: GEE’S BEND by Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder. February 7 – March 1,
2014.
Focuses on a family in the real community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, which is now
famous for the beautiful quilts created by the women that grew up there. The
play follows this family, starting in 1939, as they deal with the personal,
social and economic conditions of African-Americans in this community. It moves
to 1965 and the struggles for civil rights and culminates in 2002 where the
colors and brush strokes of empowered lives bear witness to the triumph of
strength, perseverance, dedication, undying belief and love.. Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday. Ticket prices:$15 general, $13 students, seniors and
SARTA members; $8 all seats on Thursday
