St. Luke’s theatre group, the Winged Ox Players, present the one-woman play, “My Name is Rachel Corrie” at the Robert H. Jackson Center's Cappa Theatre this Friday.
Admission is free, but donations will be accepted. All proceeds from the performance will go to Gaza relief through the American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem. For more information visit St. Luke's Website.
Rachel Corrie was an American diarist, activist, and human rights advocate who traveled to, and died in, Gaza in 2003. March 15 marks the 21 year anniversary of Corrie’s death. The script is composed of excerpts from Rachel’s diaries and emails, edited by actor Alan Rickman and journalist Katharine Viner.
The Rev. Jessica Frederick, who lived in the West Bank from 2007 to 2010 while doing human rights documentation and advocacy work with Community Peacemaker Teams, will lead the production. Each performance will include a talkback session.
This staging is directed by Loren Masanqué.
The Robert H. Jackson Center is a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization that is dedicated to presenting accurate and balanced information about complex issues. The opinions expressed by various guest speakers, panelists, and authors do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center, its Board, and supporters.
The Center fulfills its educational mission by welcoming diverse views and by providing a forum to explore a wide range of perspectives on often controversial legal and public policy issues.

Since 2001, the Robert H. Jackson Center has preserved the values embodied in the life and works of Robert H. Jackson, who served as U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. Through programs, presentations, exhibits, media, internships, and scholarship, the Center seeks to demonstrate to current and future generations the relevance and applicability of Justice Jackson’s ideas and writings. The Center provides educational content on the United States Constitution and Supreme Court, civil rights, the legacy of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and international human rights, and the rule of law. During his illustrious career, Justice Jackson addressed these subjects, and the Center recognizes his thinking remains relevant today.
