From the Playwrights on Park Play Reading Series: ALTHEA & ANGELA by Todd Olson

Join us for a Play Reading of this new work. Directed by Sean Harris. Includes a post show talk back with the director and the cast. Bring your own beverages, food, chairs/blankets & masks. Masks must be worn unless you are in your pod. Tickets will not be sold at the door. You will not need a physical ticket, your name and the size of your party will be on a list at the gate.

In 1955 Althea Gibson and Angela Buxton were world-ranked tennis players… yet no one wanted to partner with them in women’s doubles. In fact, few even wanted to talk with them. Post-War America was still very segregated and the tennis world was still very anti-Semitic. Eight years after Jackie Robinson had broken the color line in major league baseball, the tennis world lagged behind, clinging to its country club roots. Althea, a black woman from Harlem, and Angela, a Jewish woman from Liverpool, were outcasts in two nations. So they decided to join forces outside their own country – and what happened then made history.

ALTHEA & ANGELA tells the story of their meeting at an exhibition game in New Delhi, pairing up, and winning the French Open and Wimbledon – the first Grand Slam events that any African-American – male or female – had ever accomplished. It also tells the story of the unlikely events that occurred 40 years later, when one fell upon destitute times…and the other saved her life by a mass appeal to the tennis world.

Purchase tickets through Playhouse on Park online at www.playhouseonpark.org, over the phone at 860-523-5900 x10, or in person at the box office Mon-Fri 10am-2pm (244 Park Rd. West Hartford, CT 06119).

Event Details

I am contacting you about an upcoming initiative that I hope you will consider soon adding to your Events Calendar for Summer 2020.

Discovering Amistad’s Summer Leadership Academy (SLA) will take place July 13-24 and it promises to be an inspiring, engaging and timely experience for CT-based young people looking for something meaningful to do this summer.

The Summer Leadership Academy is a two-week training and educational program for CT-based High School students (entering grades 10-12). Through distance learning (live webinars and online chats & workshops) led by educators, facilitators and guest speakers, our participants will together:
· Learn the history of the Amistad uprising of 1839 and its current-day implications
· Build leadership and teamwork skills
· Learn the impact & tools of non-violent activism
· Collaborate on a social justice-based service project

We will explore issues of identity, equality, oppression, privilege and so much more.

Ultimately, the Summer Leadership Academy is about identifying and investing in our communities and in our next generation of leaders. And, please know it is being offered at no cost to our participants.

We are hoping that you will help us spread the word via your website during the registration period, which closes June 19.
