SD Junior Theatre Presents TO BE SEEN, TO BE HEARD: SPOTLIGHT ON YOUNG BLACK VOICES

San Diego Junior Theatre, the nation's longest-running youth theatre program, is teaming up with TYPA Theatre Company to present a one-night only special event, To Be Seen, To Be Heard, Spotlight on Young, Black Voices!

Join in on Saturday, March 19 at 7pm for a celebration of diverse voices shared by San Diego Junior Theatre's future leaders. Curated, written and directed by Kimberly King, Imahni King-Murillo and Kandace Crystal.

Right on the heels of Black History Month, this is "the perfect time to celebrate the beauty, strength and resilience of the African-American People!" states TYPA Founder and Program Organizer, Kimberly King. As cultural dialogue looks to recognize intersectional identities and distinguish experiences, it was important for all involved to ensure audiences knew Black people are not a monolith. "Both TYPA and Junior Theatre believe in the power of theatre to transform," she continues, "to affirm, unify and amplify."

All Junior Theatre productions are performed in Balboa Park's historic Casa del Prado Theatre, at the corner of Old Globe Way and Village Place. Tickets for this special event are free, with donations gratefully accepted.
