Calendar
Under the direction of Lee Roesti, the program will feature solos from Holly Mattison, Kathleen Lilly, Matthew Lilly, and Devante Lucas. Andrew Bentley will provide tuba accompaniment for the offertory. Darlena Roesti-Butler will offer the introit. Dr. Robinson continues, “We hope to have a great turnout from both the congregation and the town to join in this celebration and join us for a Lemonade Reception on the church lawn following worship.” The church is located at 200 West Third Street. Designed by Petersburg-based StudioAmmons, the Moton Museum’s permanent exhibition begins with the April 1951 strike against separate, but unequal conditions at Farmville’s R.R. Moton High School. From this youth-led direct action emerges the largest and only student-initiated case among the five that comprise Brown v. Board of Education. The exhibition continues through Virginia’s “Massive Resistance” to school desegregation, followed by Prince Edward’s extreme decision to close all public schools from 1959 until 1964. In the final gallery, visitors encounter the 1963-64 Kennedy Administration-supported Free School system, and end with the Supreme Court’s 1964 Griffin decision reopening county schools, ensuring free desegregated education for all. Among the guests will be former Director of the National Park Service and Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, Robert G. Stanton, as well as National Education Association (NEA) President Dennis Van Roekel. Virginia Supreme Court Justice Cleo Elaine Powell will also join the Virginia Bar Association’s and Virginia Law Foundation’s Rule of Law Project for a special program with local high school students. “The Moton School Story” dedication is made possible through the generous support of week-long Title Sponsor Wells Fargo. Additional support is provided by Dedication Sponsor, Central Southside Community Hospital. Individual Event Sponsors include the Virginia Tourism Corporation (April 23rd) and Thompson Hospitality (April 25th).

Description: Waterworks Players next production is Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park, one of Broadway’s most enduring and successful romantic comedies. Jordan Whiley will direct this timeless “laugh out loud” comedy, in which Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds who are realizing the honeymoon is over. He is a serious young lawyer and she is a free-spirited bride. Their tiny “top-of-the-building-with-no-elevator” Manhattan apartment is perfect to keep a meddlesome mother-in-law away. But with bad plumbing, a closet for a bedroom, a leak in the skylight, and an unexpected rooftop neighbor…well, anything that can go wrong invariably does.
