WILLIAMSTOWN -- Musical storytellers Charlie King and Karen Brandow will perform at St. John's Church on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, presenting a Saturday evening coffee house program and singing at the 10 a.m. parish eucharist on Sunday.
On Saturday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. in the church's lower room, they will present a program, "1912: Occupy Lawrence -- The Great Textile Strike." This performance piece celebrates the 100th anniversary of what became known as the Bread & Roses Strike. Combining historical narrative, film images and songs from the strike, this 60-minute performance brings alive a landmark event in American labor history.
The evening will include refreshments and a set of songs, free, in gratitude for the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Lower Room of St. John's is reached by using the ramp entrance at 35 Park St., down a flight and directly beneath the church. A handicapped entrance is available from the Williams College Faculty House parking lot. Information: 413-458-8144.
