Reading of George on H by Gethsemane Herron-Coward followed by talk-back in Lang Theatre/Atlas

The multi-year arc of Mosaic’s H Street Oral History Project, spearheaded by the Andrew W. Mellon Playwright-in-Residence Psalmayene 24, culminates with the H Street Oral History Project Festival. Using Washington, DC’s H Street corridor as a source of inspiration and preservation, local playwrights Dane Figueroa Edidi, Gethsemane Herron-Coward, and James J. Johnson have written new plays inspired by interviews with residents past and present. Staged readings of these new works will be the focal point of the festival, which will also include music and food, H Street neighborhood walking tours led by Justice Walks, and panel discussions curated in collaboration with the DC History Center.

The H Street Oral History Project is sponsored by the Eugene M. Lang Foundation, Humanities DC and Mosaic Partners Circle Advocates Debbie Goldman and Craig Pascal.
