A Meal for Malaga: Staged Reading
Theater Ensemble of Color of the Celebration Barn Theater presents:
A MEAL FOR MALAGA: STAGED READING
By Christina W. Richardson
January 16, 2018
In 1912 the island of Malaga, a small, multi-racial community off the coast of Maine, was evacuated by the state. Even the bodies in the cemetery were re-buried at the School for the Feebleminded, where many inhabitants were incarcerated. A century passed before any apology was issued.
Set in 1911, this one-act play considers what may have happened to cause the evacuation of Malaga Island, Maine. Inspired by real persons and events, this hundred year old history of racism and silence towards the island are all put on the table as the quest for its positive future continues. A Meal for Malaga will be performed at the Portland Stage Studio Theater, 25A Forest Avenue, in Portland. This play is brought to life on January 16, 2018. Show time is Tuesday at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
As there are a limited amount of tickets available for this performance, Reserved Seating is available for $10.

This unique collective of multicultural, multi-ethnic multigenerational ensemble of actors is directed by René Goddess Johnson, a teacher, director, and physical performer.
