<h3>Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution</h3>
<h3>INTENT</h3>
A clash of beliefs. Personal betrayals. Historic consequences.
By Mona Z. Smith | Directed by Traci Mariano


INTENT is inspired by one of the most famous espionage plots in American history. In the play, the true story of the famous British spy, Major John André, is interwoven with the fictional story of Katje, a widowed tavern worker whose son joined the rebellion and is now missing in action. Set in a time when our nation was divided against itself in a deadly clash of convictions, this play explores the intersection between high-stakes politics and the raw grief of families losing fathers, brothers, and sons to a relentless, brutal war.

Grace Episcopal Church Trinity Campus

What does it really mean to be homeless? Who are the people behind that word, and what would they want us to understand?
These are the questions at the heart of First a Home, an original short play by Joni Fritz. A special free reading, directed by Lori Myers and produced by Gretchen Metzloff in collaboration with Grace Church and Father Hal, will be presented on Sunday, October 18, at 1:00 PM at Grace Church's Trinity Campus in Ossining.
Through a series of stories inspired by real-life experiences, First a Home gives voice to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, exploring the circumstances that brought them there, the challenges they face, and the humanity too often overlooked.
Performed by members of the Grace Church congregation, the reading is free and open to the public. Its purpose is to raise awareness of homelessness in our communities, with voluntary donations benefiting the Ossining Food Pantry.
