Marietta House Museum’s Giving Voice Initiative: An award-winning play “A MATTER OF WORTH”

Please join us on Saturday, April 20, for two performances,&nbsp;1pm – 3pm and 5pm - 7pm for Marietta House Museum’s annual Giving Voice Initiative event. This year Marietta House Museum is pleased to present the award-winning play, “A Matter of Worth” written and directed by D.C. resident Marcia E. Coles. 
Cole was inspired to write “A Matter of Worth” after finding a historical newspaper slave sale ad from the 1800s. The ad described the sale of a mule for five-dollars and a seventy-year-old enslaved woman for one-dollar. Cole wrote this moving play about Hannah, an enslaved woman who reflects on her place in the world and her humanity. The play, set in 1855 Maryland, is performed by a six-person cast who help Hannah contemplate upon her personhood. “A Matter of Worth” has previously been performed in several Washington D.C. venues and received excellent reviews.
Marcia E. Cole is a native Washingtonian, writer, and poet. She received her BA in Early Childhood Education from the University of the District of Columbia. She has won the College Language Association Creative Writing contests across three genres: Drama, Poetry, and Short Story. Cole is the author of “Light in Dark Places: History in Verse” that explores aspects of American history. Cole says about her play and the upcoming production at Marietta House Museum, “A Matter of Worth gives memory to all those who labored unsung. This is for the anonymous ancestors. Gone but not forgotten.” Fee $10/person; ages 12 &amp; up. Please register at this direct link: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/bdfdbzy6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/bdfdbzy6</a>. For more information, please call 301-464-5291 or email mariettahouse@pgparks.com.
Marietta House Museum is located at 5626 Bell Station Road, Glenn Dale, MD. 20769 and is a property of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
