Merrick Art Gallery with the Social Voice Project presents “Soldier Come Home”.

Join us for a dramatic, radio-style performance at the Merrick Art Gallery in New Brighton. The performance will take place on September 21, 2018 at 7 PM.

The play written by Frank W. Wicks is based on the Civil War letters of his great-grandparents, Philip and Mary Pringle of Western Pennsylvania. In 1950, the long forgotten letters were discovered in a shoe box in the attic of the Wicks family home. Frank began the project of transcribing the letters into a play, weaving his family story through the events of the Civil War.

Tickets can be purchased a www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3595048. Ticket price is $20 plus a small processing fee. Proceeds help benefit the Merrick FREE Art Gallery, Museum and Library.
