The Power of Theatre

Dr. Beatrice Allen and Marty Moore, the committee chair of ACT-SO with the NAACP and the founding Executive Director of the Opelika Theatre Company respectively, join the show this week to share about the upcoming Black History Showcase. Since dreaming the Opelika Theatre Company, Marty has brought to focus many talented artists in the local area. The Opelika Theatre company boasts many performances a year alongside classes that bring the arts to the community. After going to some shows at the South side, Dr. Allen noticed room for diversity in the Theatre Company's work. Coming together, the pair dreamed up the Black History Showcase, a living collage of arts that shares the impact of Black artists on the arts. Now in its 2nd year, the showcase is telling its story once more, with more acts and local artists than before!
