As you know the COVID19 Pandemic has hit us all differently.  Like all theatres throughout the country, our house has been shuttered, so no live theatre has been produced.  However, eta is where magic happens and we have produced a fabulous virtual series of performances capturing the exquisite voices of our historic game changers from Frederick Douglas to Angela Davis, to Jesse Williams  to Sandra Bland.
