Gamut Theatre Plans Production

Gamut Theatre, 15 N. Fourth St., Harrisburg, will present its Winter Partnership Production with Sankofa African American Theatre Company, titled "Voices of the Eighth Chronicles II: Stories From Harrisburg's Old Eighth Ward." The original production is a showcase of Dauphin County's Black History Celebration. Written and directed by Sharia Benn, founder of Sankofa, the production will run from Friday, Feb. 3, through Sunday, Feb. 12. Shows will take the stage on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m.

"Voices of the Eighth Chronicles II: Stories From Harrisburg's Old Eighth Ward" is a collage of storytelling that fuses imagery, movement, sound, and music to highlight the work of change-makers from Harrisburg's demolished Eighth Ward. This original work pays homage to the resilient spirit of 19th- and 20th-century African Americans who sought to build a community of freedom and belonging.
