Intergenerational Dialog

The impact of sharing TCM with the world is huge! For a new production company to be included in The National Black Theater Festival  is almost unheard of. TCM is an evening of stories- intergenerational stories we need to hear, especially today when the noise of pop-culture threatens to drown out the voices of the past. We need safe spaced to talk about things that are hard like...  

TCM does this through song, dance and imagery. Let us listen, truly listen to each others stories, help us hang them all on the line!

Please help us spread the word!
