1854
1854 is an original Martha's Vineyard opera inspired by an abolitionist movement on the island in the mid-19th century. I am a theatre director who moved from New York to the Vineyard for the second time in my life in the fall of 2012. I seek funds to help develop 1854. Here is a link to an article I wrote for the Huffington Post regarding 1854 - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jack-schimmelman/creating-1854_b_5566216.html
