The Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts will present director/choreographer Martha Clarke and playwright Alfred Uhry’s Angel Reapers on Thursday, October 20, at 7:30 pm.

This multi-disciplinary dance work is suggested by the life of Ann Lee (1736-1784), founder of the Shaker movement. Mother Ann, as she became known, was a visionary, a mystic, and a powerful spiritual leader. Much of the piece is non-verbal, with the narrative articulated through Clarke’s choreography.

As previously reported, the show will also be presented as part of the ArtsEmerson season, November 15-20. It has also been previously announced for the Joyce Theater season in New York City, November 29-December 11.
