Supporting The Arts

After recently purchasing our tickets for the October 13 performance, Sharee and I were disappointed by the news that Columbia, SC native Kinnik Sky play Sunday Mourning was cancelled.  We were looking forward to Kinnik bringing her NAACP Award Winning play to the Koger Center.  Fortunately, South Carolinians can still see the play, but you must travel to Atlanta, GA on Sunday, October 20, 2013.  Click on Kinnik's website link above to find out more information.

Sunday Mourning took home 3 NAACP wins!

Sharee and I previously met Kinnik in Los Angeles at the pre-Oscar event Gospel Goes to Hollywood Awards Luncheon.

Watch We Connected Productions, LLC interview with Kinnik as she talks about bringing her award winning play to her hometown.

This past Labor Day, our Aunt, who has resided in NYC for 40 years, saw her first Broadway Show, The Trip to Bountiful.  She was never exposed to a Broadway play until we invited her to attend a performance.  Now she is interested in seeing other Broadway Shows.  More exposure is needed for youths and adults to theater.  The more exposure, the more likely communities will support the arts.

We want to read your comments.  Why are communities not supporting the arts?
