About
Presented by Bright Star Touring Theatre. From the soulful work songs sung in the fields during slavery, through the rhythms of Ragtime and Jazz, to the powerful voices of R&B and the spirituals that fueled the Civil Rights movement- this play traces the vital role of music in the journey of Black Americans. It's a moving story of resilience, resistance, and hope, told through the soundscape of history. This event is supported by a grant from the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County.
