DRAMA/MUSICAL

By Sharia Benn and Clark Nicholson

ABOUT THE SHOW

“This (The Jackson Rooming House) was a welcoming place for Blacks to eat, sleep, and conduct their business, and when that business was music, this place would come alive!”

 

In this original work by Benn and Nicholson, what starts as a search for the perfect burger and a lost little brother leads a group of young friends on a journey of musical exploration and personal self-discovery. Through encounters with several mysterious strangers, they are led to reflect upon the legacy of Black musicians & the Harrisburg hospitality network that gave them safe lodging.

This is a partnership production with the Sankofa African American Theatre Company.
