Lockerbie Remembered
Vagabond Theatre Group of Menifee explores the power of love within tragedy during their next production,
The Women of Lockerbie.
Experience an evening of high drama from a veteran cast as Vagabond Theatre Group presents six remarkable performances of The Women of Lockerbie for two weekends starting on March 21st.
“I feel so blessed to be directing such a wonderful ensemble of actors,” says Sarah Gibbon, executive director of Vagabond Menifee. “They are bringing to fruition my dream of sharing this wonderful, poetic show about the strength and determination of women.”
Featured in The Women of Lockerbie, written by Deborah Brevoor, are Sonia Watson, Jason Crewse, Wendi Johnson, Paige Polcene, Todd Meyer, Rebecca Stier Reber, Jill Carey Martin, Janette Valenzo and Damaris Vizvett.
The play tells the story of a grief-stricken American couple who are swept up by the perseverance of the women of Lockerbie, Scotland, during their fight for victim’s rights with the American government seven years after the crash of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988.
“It was a time when terrorism dominated the headlines,” says producer Larry Sichter, “and we’re grateful to be able to tell a story that drills down into the emotions of the people who experienced that terrible event first hand.”
Evening performances of The Women of Lockerbie are at 7:00pm on Friday, March 21 and 28, and Saturday, March 22 and 29. Matinees are offered at 2:00pm on Sunday, March 23 and 30. The play venue is the Faith Lutheran Church, located at 28200 Portsmouth Drive, in Menifee.
