Over ten years ago, I saw one of the first performances of the pantomime company's Augus Mawnin', a Jamaican heritage production celebrat-ing the return of August 1st. to the calendar of national observances. It became an annual theatrical production on Emancipation Day.
"Letters for Emancipendence"
in rehearsal.
Deciding that it was time to see it again, I called the Little Theatre Movement today to check for show times, only to find that we now have a heritage series and that this year will see the return of "Letters for Emancipendence" which was mounted for the first time last year.
This production features dramatized events in the lives of Jamaica's seven National Heroes, namely, Nanny, Sam Sharpe, Paul Bogle, George William Gordon, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Sir Alexander Bustamante and Norman Washington Manley.
Well, this is certainly something to look forward to ths Augus Mawnin'! Come stay with us at Neita's Nest August 1 through 6 while you check out this and other calendar events celebrating Jamaica's heritage.
