St. Michael’s School in Ridge is proud to announce the premiere production of “Yesterday’s Maryland”, a one act play that highlights the relationship between the early colonists and the Yaocomaco Indians. Eighth-grade student, Mallory Turvey-Manthorne portrays an archaeologist from Historic St. Mary’s City. She is giving a speech to a class about her new findings. During the speech she and a few of the students travel back in time to 1634 where they are able to follow a young colonist through his first day living with the Yaocomaco Indians.
The play is in celebration of Maryland’s 375th anniversary and was written specifically for the students by one of St. Michael’s faculty. It is appropriate for children in 2nd grade and up.
The performance is open to the community and will be held in the State House at Historic St. Mary’s City on Saturday, May 9 at 12 p.m. The production is FREE. If you wish to tour living history exhibits at Historic St. Mary’s City after the play, please purchase admission at the adjacent Shop at Farthing’s Ordinary. Admission to the new St. John’s Site Museum is always free!
