Blogger's Note: The following was provided by the Friends of Hopewell Furnace.
The Friends of Hopewell Furnace invite the public to a commemoration of 9/11/2001 with a presentation of "Fragile Freedom," an original play by the international playwright Christine Emmert. The free program is slated for Sunday, Sept. 17, at 2 p.m. in the Hopewell Furnace Conference Center.
On 9/11/2001, the crew and passengers of Flight 93 gave their lives to protect our American democracy and its rights. These rights are celebrated in "Fragile Freedom."
Performing her own work, Emmert will take us on the journey from the country’s early history to the present day with tears, laughter, and many companions including Sojourner Truth, Mark Twain, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others.
Along the way there will be new names that are not so easily recognized, but are nonetheless, important spirits in shaping a true democracy.
Playwright/director Christine Emmert is a writer, actress, director and educator. She holds a Masters in Humanities. Her story "Lilith" is out on Kindle along with her novel, "Ismene."
