This theatrical experience incorporates spoken word, art, music, and dance, and was first performed more than 30 years ago. Kumbayah: The Juneteenth Story takes audiences on a journey into the past, addressing the origins of Juneteenth and the imagined impact on the lives of individuals hearing the news of the Emancipation Proclamation and that the Civil War was over. This very special 30th Anniversary performance will include guest appearances from cast members who have been featured from the beginning, and other delightful surprises.
