About This Event
Arch Street Meeting House's new first-person theatrical program, A Quiet Roar: The Unparalleled Lives of Bayard Rustin & Sarah Mapps Douglass, is an immersive performance that bridges the stories of Bayard Rustin and Sarah Mapps Douglass, two phenomenal Black Philadelphian Quakers who walked the halls of ASMH a century apart. Yet, both struggled with racial injustice, political activism, and their experiences within the Quaker faith. This interpretive program brings their writings and experiences back to life, highlighting the often-overlooked intersections of race, faith, and freedom.
Written and directed by Yvie Jones.
Launching Memorial Day 2026, the program will run on Saturday mornings and afternoons from May 25, 2026, to Labor Day, September 7, 2026.
