Join us for one-person play about Peggy, a slave owned by family of Joseph Hildreth, Jr. of colonial Westford. The Play is written and performed by Gwendolyn Quezaire-Presutti, an award-winning living history performer who, for the past twenty years, has engaged audiences with performances giving voice to real-life accounts, struggles, self-determination, and triumphs of women. Her work is deeply researched and based on Westford archival materials.
