UU Theater stages “Be the Change”
UU Theater will present “Be the Change” on Saturday, December 5 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, December 6 at 1 p.m. Set at an imaginary dinner party, the play uses wit and humor to explore the moral struggles of our age as a frustrated activist dreams up her heroes – including Maya Angelou, Buckminster Fuller, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr., Marge Piercy, Rumi, Rev. Howard Thurman and Thich Nhat Hanh – to advise her in how to brave the everyday frustrations we all face.
The show’s cast includes Douglas Ball, Prince T Dickson, Bill Eldridge, Kellie Pelletier, Maureen Perry, Ron Spoffard, John Spruill and Judy Webber. Co-directors Toby Haber-Giasson and Karen Lane also appear in the show. In keeping with the show’s theme, local non-profits will present opportunities to “be the change” in our community, both before and after the performances.
