The Coterie brings to life on stage one of the defining moments of the civil rights movement.
By simply taking a seat at a whites-only lunch counter, four freshmen from A&T College in North Carolina launched a youth-led movement seeking equal service for African Americans. Their non-violent demonstration in Greensboro gained such momentum that it quickly inspired a new generation to stand up for their Civil Rights. This is the story of ordinary citizens who witnessed a movement forming right before their eyes.
After each performance of We Shall Not Be Moved, audiences will remain in 1960 with the characters, to delve into the complexity of viewpoints offered.
