“The Concert”
Written & directed by Marcia L. Hagan is a riveting dramatic play, with gospel music, that looks at the
personal and social dynamics of 3 competing churches while preparing for a Mass Concert.
The play that tells the story of 3 Baptist churches, 1 from the inner city, 1 from the lower east side of the city,
and 1 from the suburbs, collaborating to present a musical concert to support a music scholarship fund for a graduating
senior from each of the churches. The scholarship recipients must commit to serving as a musician for their church for
at least 1 year after college graduation. This drama reveals the life, times, and tribulations of the various choir members.
The story unfolds during rehearsals, which take place at each church, a beauty shop, a health center, the choir member’s
homes and various other places throughout the community. These rehearsals eventually culminate into a dynamic Gospel
Concert finale.

In 2006, the Ford Foundation awarded a $233,000 grant to Syracuse University's Department of African
American Studies (AAS) to support continued development of its focus on gender and environmental justice.
Aptly titled Gender and Environmental Justice, this ambitious and pioneering project will grow and develop two significant
core components of the AAS curriculum, and will serve to explore the intersection between gender and environmental justice.
Through a variety of activities, the Gender and Environmental Justice Project will help make AAS a center of excellence
in environmental justice and Black feminist scholarship, and will enable it to serve as a model and inspiration for other
Africana Studies departments. Visit the Ford Grant Site
