To support the costs associated with staging, filming, and distributing a play about the Rosedale Banishment. The Rosedale Banishment was a racial expulsion that erased the presence and voices of Black and Mexican residents from the city of Johnstown in 1923 — a forgotten chapter of American history that deserves to be remembered, reckoned with, and taught. Banished: The Story of a Great Injustice is a powerful theatrical work that brings this story to life through the voices of the people who lived it. Your donation will support the staging and recording of this production, allowing it to reach far beyond the theatre. The recorded performance will be used in local school districts as a teaching tool to educate students about systemic racism, civil rights, and the power of resistance.

By contributing, you are not just helping stage a play — you are helping preserve a legacy. This project gives voice to those who were silenced and ensures their stories become part of the curriculum, not just footnotes. Your support enables meaningful community dialogue, intergenerational education, and artistic truth-telling in the face of erasure. Stand with us in telling the story they tried to forget—and in ensuring that future generations remember.
