HCC Performances Spotlight African Roots 3/24, 2 & 7 p.m.
Open to Public, No Charge
BRIDGEPORT – The
Culture of African Roots will be spotlighted Thursday, March 24, when
musician Richard Hill makes a two-part appearance at Housatonic Community
College.
From 2 to 3:15 p.m., Hill will conduct a workshop with HCC Theater
Arts students in which a performance piece will be developed. At 7
p.m., the piece will be performed and Hill will give a solo performance. Both
events will be held in the Performing Arts Center in Lafayette Hall.
The events, which are open to the public at no charge, are being held
as part of the college’s Third Thursday Cultural Celebration
series. During most months in the academic year, a performing artist
representing a specific culture comes to the college on the third Thursday
to develop and perform a piece with Theater Arts students and give
a solo performance. With the third Thursday falling during Spring break,
the event this month is being held on the fourth Thursday.
For more information, contact Prof. Geoffrey Sheehan at 203-332-5270.
