[Capdist-announce] Circle Theatre Players presents original production "The Legacy of Human Property" (Jan 27-29)

[Sand Lake Center for the Arts]

Phineas Gladson (Bill Douglas), unemployed in 1932, receives comfort from
his wife, Kyla (Jody Kordana).  An old and troubling question has brought
him to a Troy restaurant to meet with the son of Charles Nalle, a fugitive
slave who came to the area just before the Civil War.

Circle Theatre Players presents an original production by local playwright,
Eric Washburn, of Castleton, NY, titled the "The Legacy of Human Property,"
on Jan. 27 & 28 at 8pm and Jan. 29 at 2:30pm at the Sand Lake Center for the
Arts. The play recounts Charles Nalle's son's visit to Troy in the 1930s to
learn about his father and his place in history. Flashbacks depict Charles's
journey in life, along with important historical events of the era.  Charles
Nalle, Sr.  was an escaped slave from Virginia who was placed in Sand Lake
by the Underground Railroad. He later moved to Troy and was arrested, to be
returned to his owner. Harriet Tubman and a crowd of both white and black
citizens rescued him and smuggled him to Watervliet.  

 

Tickets are $10, under 8  $8.  Reservations at 518-674-2007 or
