SPECIAL BENEFIT PERFORMANCE!
Join the Schomburg Junior Scholars for a special benefit performance of this theatrical reading of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail to celebrate Black History Month 2014. This theatrical reading, featuring teen and adult actors, as conceived by Artistic Director Shaun Neblett, portrays a group of high school students who must read and interpret Dr. King's Letter from Birmingham Jail in order to fulfill their graduation requirements. As they strive to make sense of Dr. King's 50 year old letter, scenes from contemporary times illuminate their understanding and make the messages relevant for today. Will they pass?
All revenue from ticket sales will benefit the Schomburg Junior Scholars Program and this special production.
