More Great News from the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre

The Lorraine Hansberry Theatre is not only in production of its play "Blue/Orange" featuring Carl Lumbly, of Alias and Cagney and Lacey fame, partnering with michaelD.Communications, Visa, Foley & Lardner LLP, the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre dovetails on "Redtails" to honor the Tuskegee Airmen and their role in history with the documentary, "Double Victory." Tuesday, February 21, the evening begins with a special FREE screening of the Lucasfilm Ltd. documentary Double Victory, which spotlights the historic role of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II, revealing the ways these pioneering African Americans bravely fought a war on two fronts: fascism abroad and racial injustice and inequality at home. A panel discussion follows the screening, featuring members of the Tuskegee Airmen, moderated by veteran TV news personality, Barbara Rodgers.  Tickets were going fast.  The event may be sold-out--or should I say freed-out :)

The Lorraine Hansberry Theatre is in an exciting new location: 450 Post Street, in the heart of Union Square.  Powell Street BART makes it very accessible.
