The Arts of Citizenship at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor will provide an exhibit and educational tools to enhance the exploration of the common roots of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity through a dramatic performance. The play, The Children of Abraham, was written by Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit and in 2004 has been performed in conjunction with the Pathways to Peace Foundation and many other southeast Michigan organizations. The Arts of Citizenship program will create a multimedia lobby exhibit and resource packet to enhance audience knowledge of the three religions and of the many ethnic groups. The materials, to be completed in early 2005, will tour with the play regionally and nationally.
