What’s Happening at The Pear…
Now playing thru December 15!
December 1865: Slavery is abolished.

November 2024: "What now?"
Let's revisit the past. And learn from it.
The Agitators chronicles the enduring but tempestuous friendship of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Great allies? Yes. And at times, great adversaries. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other, and, in doing so, they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history. This is their story. More timely than ever.
“…a compelling portrait of two flawed but inspiring agents of change.” – Pioneer Press
