Join the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement at Athens Vignettes: A Dialogue with the African American Community for this theatrical event celebrating Black Atheninian history!
Playwright Roshaunda McLean has taken interviews with Athens community members and turned them into three scenes that express views from the African American community in Athens about the Baldwin Hall burial site, the loss of Linnentown and the relationship (or lack thereof) between the African American segment of town and the UGA gown.
Each scene will be performed and then discussed with the audience. There is hope that the community will feel listened to and heard, and that a new day of relationship is dawning. Actors will come from the Town and Gown family and from the Athens community.

Second Stage shows often feature new or local playwrights and properties, and are performed in the same space as our Mainstage series. Second Stage Series productions operate on a small budget and have only one or two weeks in the theater.
