• The Carpetbag Theatre presents Ce Nitram Sacul at the Flying Anvil Theatre, Thursday – Saturday, September 13-15, at 7:30 PM; Sunday, September 16, at 4:00 PM Tickets and Information
“…a play about a woman in crisis. Disturbed by the violence and insensitivity around her, she turns to her “Womantor”, her ancestral touchstone of advice. The unusual circumstance is that her Womantor has been dead for more than twelve years.”
“Ce Nitram Sacul“ is an anagram of “Ce” Martin Lucas (Cleopatra Martin Lucas). In 1970, Cleopatra Martin Lucas and her husband, Wilmer Lucas, charted the Carpetbag Theatre, Inc during the American Civil Rights movement in an effort to reclaim the hidden stories of African Americans and empower its communities through music and theatre.
