Upcoming Special Event

"Ann Joice of the Woodyard"

 

 

 

Saturday, September 18th and Sunday, September 19th

Presenting: "Ann Joice"

Written by Bianca P. Floyd

Directed by Charles Williams

Performed by Brenda Clark McCutcheon

"Ann Joice" is a one-act one woman stage play that presents the story of a remarkable woman who came to America during the colonial period of Prince George's County. She lived and worked at the "Woodyard," an area of Prince George's County where the communities of Clinton and Rosaryville intersect. Although she came to Prince George's County as an indentured servant, she would ultimately be enslaved to the Darnalls, owners of His Lordship's Kindness. Generations later, her descendants would make an appeal for freedom based on her life. That case would be argued by some of Maryland's most prestigious and historical figures of the period.

A portion of the proceeds of this performance will be donated to Poplar Hill Historic House Museum.
