20 Years Without Vision Makes Things Clear

     The wildly successful onstage production of Harambe for the Holidays filled 600 of the 642 seats of the historic Attucks Theatre on Thursday, December 26, 2013.  The theatrical explanation of Kwanzaa was complete with a talented cast of actors, dancers, singers and Corey the Talented Blind Guy himself.  Surely it was a fantastic way for Atumpan-The Talking Drums to end another busy and productive year. 

 

    If we're talking about Harambe for the Holidays, what's up with The Path to Freedom picture?  This year, Corey the Talented Blind Guy has been without sight for 20 years.  Rather than muddle in the significant loss that he has experienced, we aim to make this year our best yet. Before the last production could finish, the Hurrah Players made sure that Corey the Talented Blind Guy was working on their latest commission for him - to provide a script for their 2013-2014 season.  How do you say anything but "Yes, of course" to Virginia's Leading Family Theater when they boast such an amazing 30 year track record? 

     As Corey's wife, I am still the 19 year old beauty that he remembers seeing when we dated eons ago, and I am still the boss.  Not a whole lot has changed there. We are both appreciative of the support of folks like yourself throughout our onstage and community, and encourage you to keep up the good work!   Always check our calendar to stay up to date on the fun.  Join us at the Hurrah Players' Perry Family Theater on February 7, 8, & 9 to start our best year yet!

     Okay, back to Harambe for the Holidays. Here are REVIEWS from attendees:

"This was the best organized and performed Kwanzaa I've ever been to.  The program flowed well with the dancers, and the storytelling, and the songs from those children were wonderful."

"Just THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy this event with all of you! I know my niece and I will never forget it! "

"It was such a joy to watch and celebrate Kwanzaa at the Attucks theatre. Keep up the great work."

     And now, the moment you've been waiting for is here!  A slideshow of some of the Highlights from Harambe for the Holidays for your viewing pleasure with video clips soon to come.
