INC NEWS - Carrboro Arts Center TONIGHT: Family/Educational Theatre ($6 or sugg. donated)

[Melissa Rooney]

Hello everyone. I just wanted to tell you all about a
performance I saw at the Carrboro Arts Center today.
It is showing again at tonight at 8 PM, for suggested
donation (tickets this AM were $6).

It is an excellent showcase of the history of African
Americans in Chapel Hill and Carrboro (from
slavery-times 'till now). There were many school
groups at both performances this morning, and I'd say
it is appropriate for grades 4 and up. I went by
myself and can say it was marvelous adult educational
entertainment as well.

The program/pamphlet provides you with a walking map
of Carrboro and Chapel Hill, detailing the locations
of many black businesses and landmarks within walking
distance of the performance.

After taking the self-guided walking tour, I finished
up with a big lunch at Mama Dips (marked on the map),
where Mama Dip herself was managing her historic
business from a bench near the front door.

Tonight is the last performance. Click below for more
