50 YEARS OF BLACK GENIUS: THE BILLIE HOLIDAY THEATRE


LOCATED IN THE HEART OF BED STUY, BROOKLYN, THE BILLIE IS ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING THEATERS FORGED IN THE AESTHETIC AND SOCIOCULTURAL KILN OF AMERICA’S CIVIL RIGHTS/BLACK ARTS MOVEMENTS. 

Join us for a conversation with The Billie's Creative Director Hollis King, Managing Director Sabine LaFortune, and Marketing Director George Gary about the 50th-anniversary celebration of the theatrical institution that has elevated and promoted the critical voices of Black artists, and the stories of the complex journey toward freedom for people of African descent, a journey that is far from over. Tune in on Thursday, May 26 at 9 pm for the next Backstage Stories.
