Hometown Heroes alight dance theater
Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women

Established in 1937, Greenbelt, MD was built by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration during the Depression as an experiment in modern town    planning. In observation of the official 75th anniversary of Greenbelt, alight dance theater (www.alightdancetheater.org) performed Hometown Heroes: 75 Years of Extraordinary Greenbelt Women in June of 2012 at the Greenbelt Museum's historic house.  

The sold out performances honored Greenbelt women, past and present, young and old--whose contributions have made this city such a dynamic and inspiring place to live. Choreographed by Angella Foster in collaboration with the   dancers, this site-specific dance installation was created specifically for the Greenbelt Museum home and its surrounding grounds. Alight dance theater will perform the work again on June 13, 2015 with four showings  beginning at 2pm.

The work explores the experiences of the women who lived in Greenbelt as young mothers and homemakers in the late 1930ʼs and early 1940ʼs as "pioneers" of the cooperative spirit of the community. Hometown Heroes  features an original sound score, including interviews with six women as found in the oral history archives of the Greenbelt Museum, as well as music, advertisements and radio programs of the era.  Because of the size of the Museum house and the nature of the work, space is extremely limited, so all  tickets must be purchased in advance.

The original project was made possible by the gracious support of the Greenbelt Community Foundation, Prince George's Arts & Humanities Council, Maryland Milestones/ATHA, Inc., City of Greenbelt, the Greenbelt Museum, and the Greenbelt Recreation Department. Photo by Maggie Picard
