Title
Roger Williams at 375
Description
Funds support the revival of the Rhode Island Legacies Project for the 375th anniversary of Roger Williams founding the city of Providence. This initial phase of the project will bring together the original historians, consultants, directors, and actors who created the project in 1984 to remount two of the original seven plays (The Legacy of Roger Williams and Samuel Slater Gathers a Work Force) in the First Baptist Church during the WaterFire celebration on Independence Day weekend. WaterFire staff will later reconvene the production team, along with students and young actors to conduct a humanities discussion and focus group on how to make the RI Legacy Project a viable, ongoing series.
