Pulitzer Prize Winner, August Wilson's
Gem of the Ocean

In celebration of African-American History Month, for one weekend only, Massasoit Community College presents Gem of the Ocean by Pulitzer-Prize Winner August Wilson.

Set in 1904, it is a meditation on freedom in the aftermath of emancipation when slavery is a living memory and the reality of Jim Crow has been born. The plot centers on Aunt Ester Tyler, a "washer of souls," whose spiritual services are needed by young Citizen Barlow, a drifter from Alabama who has blood on his hands.

Gem of the Ocean will be presented for one weekend at the Buckley Performing Arts Center on the Brockton campus of Massasoit Community College.

Friday, March 5th and Saturday, March 6th at 8:00 PM
Sunday, March 7th at 3:00 PM.


Tickets are $16 general public, $14 students and senior citizens.

All seats reserved.
The theatre has convenient wheelchair access and well lit parking.

For tickets, call 508-427-1234; major credit cards accepted.
