Ten students from Gerald Adams elementary school will give a live presentation of the puppet play they created and performed on March 18th at the Gerald Adams elementary school library. The first in an on-going series of plays exploring cultural diversity in the history of Key West, the play was based on a true story from local conch, Billy Fitch. With assistance from Suzanne Pereira, Education Coordinator of the Key West Art and Historical Society, Anne Rioseco-Sawyer, stage manager, and Jane Rohrschneider as well as Jeff Krzypkowski, Gerald Adams art teacher, the students created puppets and wrote the play set in 1930’s Key West as seen through the eyes of Mario Sanchez, Papa Hemingway and friends. Julio Avael will conduct informal interviews with Suzanne Pereira, Education Coordinator of the Key West Art and Historical Society, Anne Rioseco-Sawyer, stage manager, and the students. This project was made possible through funding from the Florida Keys Community Foundation's Marion Stevens Diversity Grant. Don’t miss this encore performance on Point-to-Point, Wednesday April 13, 2005 at 8 p.m. on the Comcast channel.
