Black History in motion..."Mourner's Bench" by Talley Beatty, the sorrow of a man who has lost everything. This poignant solo speaks volumes about the past, present and future as this deep and intensely physical solo tells the audience to not repeat history, in this case the massacre of an entire community. FEB 17-18 Aaron Frisby will perform this role at the Victoria Theatre as DCDC presents an evening filled with quintessential works for Black History Month. Tickets are available at daytonlive

Kim Y. Bears-Bailey from Philadanco!
