Voices of the Eighth 20/20 – Rhythms of Resilience by Sharia Benn, features real-life stories from Harrisburg’s Old Eighth Ward, one of the most diverse communities located in Pennsylvania from the late 1700’s through its demolition in 1925 to make way for the new PA Capitol Complex.  The play utilizes research as developed by historians at Messiah College and will feature music, projected photos from the time, and original poetry written by students from Harrisburg High School – Sci Tech Campus. The presentation also celebrates the Commonwealth Monument, a historical landmark commemorating the Old Eighth Ward and slated for completion in 2020.


There will be a talk-back discussion after the show with students/faculty who wish to dive deeper and learn more about the production and its subject matter. The play is directed and adapted by Sharia Benn, and utilizes professional performer and designer talent from the Central PA area. Sponsored by the Dauphin County Commissioners.
