The Fries Rebellion film screening
followed by a Q&A with Jason Searock
Sunday, September 21 at 2:00 pm
The Moravian Historical Society announces a screening of The Fries Rebellion. Guests will enjoy a movie screening, followed by a question-and-answer session with Jason Searock, who played the part of John Fries.
Produced by the Lower Macungie Township Historical Society, The Fries Rebellion is a docudrama exploring the patriotic protests during the 1798-99 tax revolt throughout the Lehigh Valley. The Fries Rebellion and the corresponding places and events are shown through a teenage student's eyes in modern times. In the film, Lehigh Valley teenager Kayla experiences the protest against the Federalist government’s first Federal House Tax, led by patriotic Pennsylvania-German veterans of the American Revolution, and uncovers something important about herself along the way.
General admission tickets are free. Seating is limited, advanced reservations are recommended.
