Dear Martin performance
Photo by Mary Gearhart

On November 2nd 2018 String Theory Theater performed Sincerely Martin at the Waverly Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library system. Sincerly Martin is a puppet performance that takes place in a classroom. Two students deliver a presentation as part of Mr. Biko's history class. The presentation focuses on the last few years of Dr. King's life where his activism's new focus became increasingly threatening to the establishment earned him the nickname "radical Martin". Information is also shared concerning the little known civil court case in which the King estate charged the U.S. government with assassinating Dr. King.  and the King Estate won due to overwhelming evidence against government agencies and their co-conspirators.

Later that same day we traveled to Takoma Park to perform "A Collab Story" at the Takoma Park Community Center. We shared the stage with other puppeteers for the second annual DC Puppet Slam.  A Collab Story is a performance about siblings Malik and Nafasi as they take a trip into their imagination.
