The first play in a collaboration between the National Parks Service of Boston and site-specific theater company Plays in Place, A Light Under the Dome, is set to be performed in front of a live audience in the Massachusetts State House Senate Chamber August 12 - 15. This play dramatizes the pivotal moment on February 21, 1838, when Angelina Grimké, an exiled Southerner, became the first American woman to address a legislative body. Her stirring speech on abolition also boldly affirmed the full citizenship of American women. Supporting her are fellow abolitionists Maria Weston Chapman, Lydia Maria Child, Susan Paul, and Julia Williams, who share their stories of struggle and resilience.
