Join us for Hansberry Night at Sound Theatre’s REPARATIONS!
A WORLD PREMIERE BY by Darren Canady/Directed by Jay O’Leary January 20, 2020 is Hansberry Night at Sound Theatre. Tickets can be secured by making a $20 donation through our website using the Link above. The proceeds for all tickets bought through our site donations benefit the Hansberry Project. The evening will include the 7:30pm performance at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute and a post-show reception, where we will toast Hansberry Artistic Director, Valerie Curtis-Newton. (Recently named one of Seattle’s most influential people of the last decade!) We look forward to seeing you at the show! Let’s start the year off right! Celebrating, supporting and presenting the work of Black theatre artists. The Hansberry Project: Where Art Meets Soul! (We hope that you will also take the opportunity add to your donation in support of the Hansberry Project’s 2020 drive to raise $40,000 and meet a matching donation challenge!) CELEBRATING THE POWER OF STORIES!
We began with complete belief in the transformational power of stories. The stories of our community are at the center of our work. Ours is a community rich in creativity, reaching across a diverse sea of ethnic influences and voices. After 15 years, we are still telling our stories - celebrating the African American experience specifically, and the experiences of people of color in general. We're happy to be in a position to lend our support (both financial and professional) and our experience broadly across the greater community. This year, our support of Sound Theatre's production of CITIZEN: An American Lyric helped them garner a Gregory Award for Best Ensemble! Beyond simply supporting productions, we push to make room for more voices to have their say. Below are other samples of what we are about. Thank you for your presence and support. We hope to see you soon! Valerie Curtis-Newton Artistic Director |
