The PEOPLE Project™ 2026: Generations & Crossroads

TICKET PRICES
$20

Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 7 PM

The PEOPLE Project™ was started in 2017 by Lisa Cordiano as a simple staged reading of first-person-narrated essays in the Stevens Theatre at Gettysburg College. Since then, the Project has been produced six times, each one a new iteration made unique by the participants who contributed. The event has historically included storytelling, music and dance performances, visual artwork exhibitions, and a video project.

The theme for The PEOPLE Project 2026 is “Crossroads,” and the performance event will be presented in the Majestic Theater’s Cinema on Thursday, October 15, at 7 PM to celebrate our shared community and join the series of PA/America 250 events in 2026. There will also be an exhibit of “Crossroads” themed artworks on display at Waldo’s & Co. for the month of November, with a First Friday reception on November 6 that is free and open to the public.

Gettysburg’s geography as a crossroads made it a spot of convergence in one of the United States’ most pivotal moments in history. Join us as we hear stories and music and view artwork illustrating the crossroads of present-day community members who have come to live, work, and play in our beloved Adams County.

Tickets: $20

This event will be live-streamed thanks to Community Media of South Central PA. Stay tuned for link information.
