LANTERN ROCK or THE MANY ANGELS OF MAMA DROPLET is a play for singers and actors using elements of the traditional Christmas Nativity story to create a space for concern and reflection on the global and local crisis of refugees, migrations, homelessness and weaponized borders. Traditional songs are fitted with new lyrics to alternate with spoken narrative, telling a story of the search for home and refuge in lethally dangerous times.
The script was written by Edward Mast, and the performance features the talents of Meg Savlov, Miriam Blau, Ruth McRee, Straton Spyropoulos, Rich Hawkins, and Jeff Carter, with visual design by Lisa Bade.
The short performance will be followed by a conversation with some people involved locally in the ongoing crises. The performance and discussion will be over by 4:00pm.
This will be a free community event. We won’t be asking for donations at the beginning or the end.
Please join us on January 5.
