1619: The Journey of a People runs Saturdays and Sundays June 15th-30th
From the 1619 Musical website: Written in August of 2019, 1619: The Journey of a People commemorates the 400-year anniversary of the date when the first enslaved Africans were brought to the shores of this nation. The theater experience of 1619: The Journey of a People is expressed through three modern characters in a series of performance pieces that will leave audiences both inspired and challenged about the progress of America's African sons and daughters. The production of 1619...features a dynamic cast of singers, actors, spoken word artists, and dancers who reflect on the past while tackling critical contemporary social issues. With an appeal for all ages, this production reminds us that on the other side of the trial lies greatness.
