SUMMARY:StoryWorks Theater Presents Teaching the Constitution Through Theater: Beautiful Agitators Virtual Play and Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Agitators\, a theatrical play about Vera Mae Pigee\, a hair stylist and business owner in Clarksdale\, Mississippi\, and one of the unsung heroes of the civil rights era. Using her beauty parlor as a hub for Delta-based organizing and resistance\, Pigee operated her salon by day and then transformed it into a clandestine center for civil rights organization and education in the evenings. Known for her big hats and larger than life personality\, Mrs. Pigee led the direct action that registered nearly 6\,000 African Americans to vote in the region. Although Pigee was largely left out of the history books\, along with many women of the movement\, our play Beautiful Agitators and accompanying curriculum revives her legacy\, highlighting her methods and tactics. \nJoin StoryWorks Theater’s Jenna Welch\, Aallyah Wright and Rebecca Welch Weigel for a brief introduction of Beautiful Agitators\, a virtual play and corresponding curriculum.
