JUNE 14!

The Hansberry Project's Annual Gala

Celebrate Juneteenth with The Hansberry Project at ACT

The Hansberry Project was born of a profound need for the returned presence of professional African American theatre within Seattle’s rich regional theatre community. With collaborative foresight and commitment, ACT Theatre provided a platform for giving voice to such a presence; and Seattle’s black theatre artists once again took centerstage.

To commemorate this spirit of inclusion, freedom, equity and excellence, we have chosen an annual celebration, representative of the incorporation of the African American experience into the American story – Juneteenth!

We invite everyone to join us for our 3rd annual Juneteenth Fundraising Gala on June 14,, 2008. This year’s event, An Evening of Gifts and Talents, features a reading from Lorraine Hansberry’s To Be Young Gifted and Black. The cast includes prominent members of Seattle’s theatre scene, including ACT’s own Kurt Beattie!

Our very capable gala committee is planning an exceptional evening of Black Tie elegance. We hope that you will support The Hansberry Project by joining us for a commemorative evening of great entertainment, food, and fun.
