Acadia: A Play In Five Acts

Acadia: A Play in Five Acts

by Mary Kinley Ingraham

Acadia: A Play in Five Acts is a work written by Mary Kinley Ingraham, who served as the librarian of Acadia University from 1917 to 1944. The play celebrates the university's history and culture through symbolic characters representing different aspects of Acadia, such as Science, Art, Theology, Truth, and Learning. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the play explores the impact of war on the university community, reflecting the profound loss experienced during that period. Ingraham's strong Christian faith and her connection to the Baptist denomination are evident in the dialogue, which features Christian themes. The play's use of verse highlights Ingraham's background as a poet, making it a unique blend of dramatic and lyrical elements.
