A Year
of Protest
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.
We invite you to be our magical audience and join us for one of the most
exciting experiences ever. You will
receive a digital link that will direct you
to our YouTube channel where
you will enjoy the Voices of Protest
capturing the journey of
African Americans in pursuit of freedom.
