A REFUTATION
February 21 @ 7:00 pm - February 22 @ 4:30 pm
The Greenwall Foundation’s 75th anniversary in 2024 gave us the opportunity to share stories of the people and events that have shaped the Foundation’s course and inspire our future. The celebration continues into early 2025 with our capstone 75th anniversary event: two Greenwall Foundation-commissioned performances of A REFUTATION, with Theater of War Productions, that will be hosted in Washington, DC, and webcast live on February 21 and 22.
A REFUTATION, directed, adapted, and facilitated by Theater of War’s Bryan Doerries, will feature dramatic readings by acclaimed actors from conflicting historical accounts of Philadelphia’s 1793 yellow fever epidemic and spark guided audience discussions on America’s current health inequities.
The cast features Chad Coleman (The Walking Dead, The Wire), Brían F. O’Byrne (Conclave, Million Dollar Baby), Michael Potts (The Wire, The Piano Lesson), and Peter Marks (former chief theater critic for The Washington Post).
“These performances are an exceptional way to mark the Foundation’s anniversary,” said Michelle Groman, JD, President & CEO. “They draw from the Foundation’s past commitment to arts funding, remain grounded in our current bioethics focus, and look toward the future by bringing bioethics to new audiences through a less traditional medium.”
The DC Public Library and Ebenezer United Methodist Church-Capitol Hill are partners and hosts of the two events.
