Theatre Espresso will present “Uprising on King Street: The Boston Massacre”  to the Bigelow 8th graders on December 15th! 

Theatre Espresso performs interactive dramas that bring history to life.  Their work challenges students to make critical judgments, explore social relationships, reflect on the role of law and human rights in our society, and question accepted truths about the history of America.  In “Uprising on King Street”, Theatre Espresso involves students in a dramatization of the circumstances that led to the Boston Massacre, and the trial of British Captain Preston.  In their role as jurors, students explore the events through the eyes of ordinary men and women who were both shaped by and instrumental in shaping history.

This program is made possible by the Bigelow Creative Arts and Sciences Committee, and is funded entirely by your PTO contributions.
