Shadow Theatre Company Presents A CHANGE HAS COME, REMEMBER THE DREAM, 7/9-24

Shadow Theatre Company presents A CHANGE HAS COME, REMEMBER THE DREAM, on Saturdays and Sundays from July 9th to the 24th at 7PM. The production is presented in collaboration with Maxwell Theatrical, Inc. The Shadow Theatre is located on 1468 Dayton St. in Aurora. Tickets are $20.

A CHANGE HAS COME, REMEMBER THE DREAM is written and directed by Elvira Maxwell. The three act play takes place in Montgomery, Alabama in November 2008 after the elections, making Barack Obama the first African-American president in US history. The event brings around three friends, Bertha, Martha, and Eartha, into sharing history of the Civil Rights Movement which made the election possible.

Founded by Jeffrey Nickelson in 1997, Shadow Theatre Company (Shadow) answered the artistic and spiritual necessity of creating an African American theatre for the Rocky Mountain region.

Eleven years later, Shadow moved into a new state-of-the-art building, made possible in part through a partnership with the City of Aurora. Besides becoming Shadow's main performance venue, the new headquarters will serve as an arts incubator for the local community.

Shadow's performances continue to reflect upon the social morés of our time, challenging audience members to reconsider their own values, attitudes and actions. In addition to our theatrical season, each summer Shadow provides an intensive, five-week artist-in-residence program for area youth that culminates in a full production led, produced, directed and performed by program participants.

Shadow has presented 51 productions and received countless awards including the Mayors Award for Excellence in the Arts and numerous Denver Post Ovation Awards and nominations. More information can be found at the company's website: http://www.shadowtheatre.com/index.html
