I saw Fences at Omaha Community Playhouse on January 20, and it was stunning in its powerful depiction of life for Black Americans. This award-winning play will run through February 12th, and I highly recommend it!
The theater was NOT full on opening night, so please invite anyone who might be interested.

Virtual & hybrid lectures, workshops & discussions will be presented through February 16th. Contact [email protected] or call 531-622-2253 for more information.

Here is the short video that was included in the Oct. 7 session. The volume was too low to be audible to everyone, but we should be able to hear it all right on the video.
