Outside community members are invited to purchase tickets at a rate of $8 for adults, $6 for seniors/alumni, and $5 for students with ID. Tickets may be purchased in person at the bookstore or by calling 503-554-3844. The play features reserved seating starting at 6:30 p.m.
The 65-minute presentation discusses African Americans who have been influential to the development of America but are typically overlooked in the history books. The six people portrayed have all played a pivotal role in American culture and history, and this show gives the audience the opportunity to learn and appreciate them in an engaging and entertaining light. There will be a discussion afterwards.
