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.

shall welcome the intellectuality of the pamphlet and the debate.” -- Lorraine Hansberry
