Come celebrate history with our new performance!

African American Children's Theatre puts on two short plays about Martin Luther King, Jr and several prominent African American musicians. The story about Martin Luther King, Jr. combines live action with pre-recorded video to show our student's views on Dr. King and his achievements. The Musicians is a play set to music showcasing the talents of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Scott Joplin and W.C. Handy. Come see our young actors as they prepare to be tomorrow's leaders. Our set was designed by local artists Tejumula Ologboni and Ras Ammar Nsoroma.
