“Living on Stage: A Life Dramatized”

Sarah Bracey White – poet, memoirist, essayist, playwright, stage performer and the Town of Greenburgh’s longtime Director of Cultural Affairs – has created “Living on Stage: A life Dramatized,” This Black History Month event will feature monologues, poetry, prose and plays. A lifelong storyteller, Ms. White was born in South Carolina and now lives in Ossining. In “Living on Stage,” she takes her audience along on her journey from her early, privileged 1950’s life in Philadelphia to a segregated life in Sumter, SC, and the challenges her reverse-migration to the segregated south presented for her and her family.

Actors from Ossining’s Westchester Collaborative Theater will give a repeat performance of Ms. White’s one act play “Something to Remember Him By,” which premiered at WCT in 2023. They’ll also give the audience a peek into theater’s creative process when they do a no-frills table read of Ms. White’s newest play “Sisters in Conflict.” Nine-year-old Victoria Sanchez, also of Ossining, will make her stage debut in the role of Ms. White as a young child.

The show, directed by Misha Templar Sinclair of Greenburgh, is made possible by Ms. White’s 2024 Individual Artist’s Award from ArtsWestchester. The Budartz Theater is located in Ossining Public Library, 53 Croton Avenue, Ossining, NY.
