Taylor Gray as Jerry Lee Lewis in MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET on Tour
by Kathy Strain - February 07, 2018
In a recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee on a chilly December evening, four musicians came together for a visit and an impromptu jam session. That jam session at the famed Sun Record Studios would go down in history because the four musicians have become known as some of the greatest musicians in history. The four were Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.

Currently on tour, the MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET relives that evening and includes many songs that have become so memorable for so many.

Photo Flash: The Classic Theatre presents BLESS ME, ULTIMA
by BWW News Desk - February 05, 2018
Latinx communities have long been left out of U.S. and Latin American histories. Latinos in the U.S often don't know their own histories because Latinx history and literature is often not part of their schooling experiences. There are so many ways that literature for youth functions as a way of recovering those lost histories and keeping them in view of young audiences, who may not hear them otherwise. We must consider the reality that ethnic and Latinx Studies have been banned in states in the Southwest and continue to struggle for representation throughout the U.S. educational pipeline. It is important to tell these stories in a city with such a large population who would benefit from it.
