The USC Beaufort Center For The Arts presents Septima, a new play by Patricia Williams Dockery about the mother of the American Civil Rights Movement for two performances – 7:30 p.m., Friday, March 9 and 3 p.m., Sunday, March 11.
In partnership with PURE Theatre, League of Women Voters Charleston Area (LWVCA) commissioned a play about the life of civil rights and voting rights activist, teacher, and LWVCA member Septima Clark. PURE Theatre produced the play, which premiered in Charleston on March 9, 2023, and ran through April 1, 2023.
The play is set on the day of what would have been Septima Clark’s 125th birthday. As the City of Charleston prepares to celebrate, Septima, with the help of some old friends, reflects not only on her work as a Civil Rights leader and educator, but the moments of her life that shaped her into one of the most important figures in American history, and inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. to name her the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.”
Tickets are $30 for adults, $10 for students and $25 for senior citizens or members of the military To purchase tickets, go to https://bit.ly/3UiXUy0.
