“Mississippi Summer,” a new play written and directed by Seattle-New York based playwright Art Feinglass, looks at the role of Jews in the battle against racism and segregation in the 1960’s South.
The play focuses on two young Jewish volunteers who traveled to Mississippi in1965 to fight for civil rights, the Jewish lawyer who defended them and the heroic local rabbi who played a key role in the struggle.
In the summer of 1965 Feinglass was a civil rights worker in Jackson, Mississippi, where he and his fellow SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) workers were beaten and jailed by police for their part in the struggle for civil rights. The play is based on his personal experiences and on the journal he kept at the time.
"Mississippi Summer" was originally produced in Seattle and had a successful run at the Langston Hughes Theater and other Seattle venues last fall. Staged readings played to full houses in February at The Lambs Club in Manhattan. Full productions of the play will be performed at three Landmark Manhattan venues in November.
