Returning home to the Hill District in 1985\, King finds that his community is beset by violence\, con men\, and redlining. As King fights to keep his family afloat\, the harsh realities of Reagan’s America threaten to drag him under.  King Hedley II dives into family tensions and the Black experience in America with Wilson’s signature poeticism and power.\nWhen: Sunday\, March 24th\, 2024; from 7:30 – 9:30 pm\nWhere: Hibernian Hall (located at 184 Dudley Street\, Roxbury\, MA 02118) \nCost: REGULAR TIX – $59.50 + $5.00 fees; STUDENTS – $25.00 + $5.00 fees\n| Purchase tickets here\, use code: HILLDISTRICT |\n#MPDC #MPDCRox #ItsHappeningatHibernian URL:https://www.madison-park.org/event/discounted-event-king-hedley-ii/ LOCATION:Hibernian Hall\, 184 Dudley Street\, Roxbury\, MA\, 02119\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Culture,Hibernian Hall,Madison Park Development Corporation,MPDC ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.madison-park.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ClientFile503884.jpeg GEO:42.32875;-71.0820409 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hibernian Hall 184 Dudley Street Roxbury MA 02119 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=184 Dudley Street:geo:-71.0820409,42.32875 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240322T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240322T190000 DTSTAMP:20260206T021633 CREATED:20231103T033017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240308T231224Z UID:10001024-1711126800-1711134000@www.madison-park.org SUMMARY:Girls Group Meet & Greet | Hosted by The Dewitt Center (FREE!)
