Attucks Theatre

Comment on Facebook

In celebration of Black Music Month, the Attucks Theatre is set for Hampton Roads’ upcoming singer-songwriters to take the stage and perform their original blues, gospel, jazz, and r&b lyrics. The evening will also journey back with musical and visual art tributes by local artists– highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the Harlem Renaissance to the present.

Presented by the Crispus Attucks Cultural Center for teens and adults, the new From Page to Stage Series will consist of monthly informal and staged readings and presentation of new works for consideration for the Attucks Theatre upcoming seasons. These thought-provoking, exciting plays, poetry readings, and vocal performances are by some of Hampton Roads newest emerging artists – just “off the press.” There will be a discussion with the playwright, cast, poet, or songwriter following the performance. Admission is free, donations are welcome.

For submission information, contact Gail Easley at 757.622.4763.
 

The Attucks Theatre was the brainchild of the Twin Cities Amusement Corporation, an enterprise of black businessmen from Norfolk and Portsmouth who developed the Attucks as a regional mecca for entertainment and commerce. Their vision was to develop a cultural center in the heart of the minority community where the citizens would be treated with the dignity and respect that they deserved. The theatre was named in honor of Crispus Attucks, an African American who the first to die in the Revolutionary War. Harvey N. Johnson, a noted African-American architect, was selected to design this facility.
