Living Voices: The Right to Dream

February 6 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Join Living Voices for a special Free First Thursday film screening. Witness the struggle and sacrifice for civil rights in America through the eyes of an African American student in Mississippi during the 1950s and 1960s. Learn how the fight against prejudice has shaped our history.

Living Voices combines live and recorded theatrical performances with archival film, turning history into a moving personal journey. This studio-quality filmed program will take place in the Joshua Green Foundation Theater on MOHAI’s second floor.

Content Notice: Suitable for guests 12 years to adult. Genuine period photos of lynching and anti-Black racial violence, and racial slurs in the film may be disturbing for audiences. These details are included out of respect for those who lived through these times, not to shock or offend modern viewers.

For accessibility support, please contact programs@mohai.org two weeks prior to the event.

Seattle Rep Theater Blues for an Alabama Sky

January 30 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

In 1930s New York, the hopes of the Harlem Renaissance have been tempered by the realities of the Great Depression. Best friends and artists Angel and Guy dream of a glamorous future but can barely eke out a living in the jazz clubs, while their neighbor Delia and local doctor Sam deal with bombs and break-ins as they try to bring a family planning clinic to the neighborhood. When Angel catches the eye of a handsome newcomer, their clashing values set off a chain of events that will change everyone’s lives. Lyrical and deeply moving, Pearl Cleage’s classic drama will immerse you in the joy, sorrow, and resilience of a society on the brink of change.

By Pearl Cleage
