I wanted to touch base about getting the word out to GSU for our upcoming production of Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity. I have $15 tickets to performances on the following dates if tickets are ordered by November 9th, making the show very affordable for students and academia. Ideally, I’d love to get a student group together from GSU.
The shows I have the $15 tickets for are the following:
Thurs. 12/3 @ 10 AM
Fri. 12/4 @ 10 AM
Tues. 12/8 @ 8 PM
Wed. 12/9 @ 7 PM
Thurs 12/10 @ 8
Fri 12/11 @ 8
I’ve attached the press release with the complete info on the show. If you are interested, please contact Jennifer Dwyer (contact info below). We're trying to see how much interest this generates and if we can get together a large enough group to go and see the performance! :)
Thanks!

Theatre Students Wanted for Hire for Upcoming Show
My name is Janea Rowe and I am the Marketing Coordinator for Lang Holdings in Delafield, WI. My company is exhibiting at the Atlanta Gift Show in January and is looking potentially to hire a few of your students to assist us at the show. I am wondering if you can put me in contact with a Theater professor at your university.
Specifically, we would like to hire 8-10 theater students to walk around the show in a costume (the costume would be minimal and simple) to promote our company. The dates are January 7th, 8th and 9th; hours would be approximately 8:00 am to 4:00 pm with schedule breaks and lunch.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information at the contact information below.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Janea Rowe

Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity: A Holiday Gospel Celebration
Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company
Announces Holiday Classic
Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity: A Holiday Gospel Celebration
September 1, 2009 (Atlanta, GA) - Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company is proud to announce our annual holiday musical, Black Nativity: A Holiday Gospel Celebration, directed and choreographed by Patdro Harris, with music directed and arranged by J. Michael. The Christmas story gets a soulful re-telling in this gospel musical that’s fun for the whole family. Black Nativity features a pre-professional cast (ages 14-28), and will be performed at Fulton County’s Southwest Arts Center, December 3-27, 2009.
This reinvention of the Christmas story is a soul-stirring musical celebration. A testament to the power of gospel music, the story of the Nativity is told through the combination of scripture, poetry, dance and song that connects a contemporary church revival to the time of managers and swaddling clothes. This joyous evening brings the real meaning of faith and love to life. From the same team that brought us The Wiz.
