Players by the Sea School of the Arts is pleased to announce that we offer a play honoring Rosa Park's courage, This Seat's Taken. Written and directed by our Education Director, Barbara Colaciello, this new play takes the audience on a journey with Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as they look back on the event that became the tipping point for the Civil Rights Movement. The day Rosa Parks would not give up her seat.
