Description

Join us for a theatrical re-enactment of Parks’ historical bus ride. The performance Sister Rosa Parks, the Bus Stops Here will showcase actress/storyteller Jean Donatto as Rosa Parks. Donatto will describe the “incident” on the bus that aroused people of all races to begin the struggle for fair and equal treatment. She will also describe the social climate before, during, and after the event. This program is appropriate for all ages. No registration required. 

Limited seating. Hand stamps required for entry; hand stamps given out beginning at 2:30pm. 

These re-enactments are made possible by a grant from Young Audiences of Houston. The program is recommended for school-aged youth and adults.
