Braille Readers Theater presents,

"Their Story, Their Song"

Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church will host the Braille Readers Theater production of “Their Story, Their Song,” by B.T. Kimbrough.

The play is about Fanny Crosby, the 19th-century hymn writer. In Braile Readers Theater, all the actors are blind. They read their scripts in braille or on an electronic device called a braille notetaker. Costumes, gestures, the set, and minimal stage movement help bring people who are sighted into the world of the play.

It opens Friday, August 25, at 7 p.m., with another performance at

1 p.m. on Saturday, August 26. The CHPC congregation is invited. There is no ticket fee, but reservations are required and can be made by emailing kcarpenter@aph.org or calling 502-899-2213.

International Peacemaker Abdias Noemi Iglesias Sanchez, a leader of the Reformed church in El Salvador, and Leslie Vogel, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) mission co-worker in Guatemala, will be in Kentuckiana from Friday, September 15, through Thursday, September 21.
