ECDC-MCCVT

The Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) and Sandglass Theater invite you to experience the refugee journey firsthand through TWO unique and engaging events in Brattleboro, Vermont. These events will raise awareness about the challenges and triumphs faced by refugees resettling in our community, while also generating support for ECDC's vital work. This is a fundraising event for ECDC, sponsored in part by the New England Foundation for the Arts National Theater Project support to Sandglass Theater.
On Saturday, January 20, at 3 pm, Sandglass will present the film version of its award-winning production, Babylon (Journeys of Refugees) at the Latchis Theatre’s Main Theatre (with a brand new sound system!)
