About The Show:

“For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.” -Amanda Gorman

Voices of the Eighth, Chronicles II: Stories from Harrisburg’s Old Eighth Ward is a collage of storytelling that fuses imagery, movement, sound, and music to uplift the work of chain-breakers and change-makers from Harrisburg’s demolished Eighth Ward.

This original work pays homage to the resilient spirit of the nineteenth and twentieth-century African American liberators, educators, orators, and writers who fought to build a community of freedom and belonging.  Meet these vibrant personalities as seen through the eyes of the Sankofa bird who reminds us that to ensure a strong future, we must first understand the past.

The project is a partnership with Sankofa African American Theatre Company and Gamut Theatre Group.
