Still We Rise: Theatrical Event with Poetry & Music
3598 Talbot Street, San Diego, 92106
Cost: Free
The La Jolla Theatre Ensemble in collaboration with Vanguard Theatre presents Still We Rise, a theatrical event featuring the poetry of Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, Amanda Gorman, Yolanda Franklin, and Ernie McCray, and the Music of the Rob Thorsen Trio. One year ago the world witnessed the murder of George Floyd, and the Black Lives Matter Movement was re-ignited. This special program is to celebrate the resilience of us all and, in particular, African-Americans, who have persevered not only through the last year+ but four centuries on this continent. 80 minutes of uplifting Music and Poetry. While there is no admission charge, donations welcomed to support the artists.
