Event Details
Sarah Bracey White - poet, memoirist, essayist, playwright, stage performer and Ossining resident - has created “Living on Stage,” a Black History Month event that will take her audience on an intimate journey from her privileged life in Philadelphia to Sumter, SC, and the challenges her reverse-migration to the segregated south presented for her and her family. This inspirational afternoon of live theater will take place from 2 to 4 pm, Saturday, February 15, 2025 in the Budarz Theater. The event is free. Registration is requested--and carpooling is suggested-but not required.
In “Living on Stage,” Ms. White includes monologues, poetry and prose performed by her and actors from Ossining’s Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT). There will also be a performance of Ms. White’s one act play “Something to Remember Him By,” which premiered at WCT in 2023. The audience will get a peek into the creative process when the actors do a no-frills table read of Ms. White’s newest play “Sisters in Conflict.” Nine-year-old Victoria Pavia, also of Ossining, will make her stage debut in the role of Ms. White as a young child. The show, directed by Misha Templar Sinclair, is made possible by Ms. White’s 2024 Individual Artist’s Award from ArtsWestchester.
This project is made possible with funds from Arts Alive, a regrant program of ArtsWestchester with support from the Office of the Governor, the New York State Legislature, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
