By Vida Oliphant Sneed Directed by Steve Sneed Featuring Delbert Richardson’s American History Traveling Museum: The “Unspoken” Truths
Audiences of all ages are invited to witness the rich history of the Black diaspora in this black-led, all-local production. The company will recreate the journey from Africa to enslavement, the Jim Crow era through today, celebrating the many contributions and influences of African Americans to the world. The play is based on community scholar and second-generation storyteller Delbert Richardson’s life’s work. Richardson, a Governor’s Arts & Heritage Award recipient among countless other accolades, is the curator of the American History Traveling Museum: The “Unspoken” Truths, which uses artifacts and storytelling to teach American history through an Afrocentric lens. With a cast of actors and dancers, The Lion Tells His Tale brings the museum to life on stage in a brand-new theatrical experience. Electrifying, entertaining, and educational!
