Check out this past week’s edition of TCS Student News with a lead story on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Struggle and the connection to issues today. Student anchors Rhys Guilfoyle and Ethan Jobita Jemadari explain how the school commemorated Dr. King’s birthday. Other stories include the latest Theatre Seminar with The Lyric, a “Conversation with…” Stevanie Williams and Parrish Allison of Wombwork Productions and even more.
We had the pleasure of hosting Stevanie Williams and Parrish Allison for our “Conversation with…” this week. Stevanie is the playwright of “The Channelling of Ms. Sybby Grant” a play we experienced at The Lyric in November. It is about the lives of Ms. Grant and others enslaved in the mansion that is now The Walter’s Art Gallery. Stevanie and Parris were both actors in this important and meaningful play as part of a Baltimore group called Wombwork Productions.
Stevanie and Parris shared their stories growing up in Baltimore and talked about their varied creative careers in music, plays, movies as well as their commitment to youth and community work. The discussion was lively and warm.
Thank you for your generous sharing of time and stories.
