When Martin Luther King Jr. shared his famed dream on Aug. 28, 1963, he shared it with more than a quarter million people in the first-ever March on Washington.

As part of the Community Arts Center’s educational series, Mad River Theater Works will perform the one-act play “Keep Marching,” which explores the history of that march. The show starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, at the Community Arts Center, 220 W. Fourth St., Williamsport.

According to the CAC’s website, “Mad River Theater Works is an acclaimed touring ensemble that creates vibrant and evocative plays with music for families and young audiences based on American history and folklore.”

“Founded in 1978, Mad River presents original productions that explore traditional stories and themes in a unique, innovative style,” according to the CAC. “With over 25 years of touring experience, the company has earned an international reputation for authentic presentations that bring little-known characters and aspects of American culture to the stage.

“The artists of Mad River seek out subjects that reflect the rich diversity of our common heritage and make shows that combine the rhythms and folkways of everyday life with tales about extraordinary individuals. The resulting body of work is a vivid tapestry that weaves together live music, storytelling, and drama, exploring the grit and humanity of characters from the past,” the website said.
