ATTN: BLACK PEOPLE [ALL OF THE CONNECTS OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORIC DESCENT]— THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU!
What do you know about intentional entertainment? Culture celebrated, with the nuance of taking up space & wishing someone would have the audacity to question, "Why?"
Family, it's LEGACY NIGHT!
On May 8th, 2026, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre opens its doors for something deeper than a typical evening at the theater. This year's Legacy Night will showcase A Raisin in the Sun [the first play produced on Broadway written by a Black woman]. This classic, written by Lorraine Hansberry, is a reflection of dreams deferred [iykyk] and dreams defended [stand on business]. It’s family, resilience, struggle, and hope... all the things we know in the dimensional existence we have had as a community. It is in all shapes of the word, a legacy of our people. And there’s something undeniably powerful about witnessing it in a room filled with people who don’t just watch the story but feel it, recognize it, carry it.
I’m personally honored to be part of the host committee through CopyWrite [for the 3rd year in a row], helping shape a night like this into existence authentically. This is the work that matters, making sure our stories aren’t just told, but held, supported, and surrounded by the people they belong to [because what would the world do without BLACK CULTURE? Pshhhh!]
So we need you to tap in, buy a ticket, tell a friend, buy them a ticket, and then circulate this info all up and down the grapevine! The night starts at 6:00 pm with food, drinks, music, conversation, connection, and culture to set the tone. This is grandmas house, the barbecue, and chats on the front porch. . . because whenever we are together, it should be a function!
Let us plug you in with a ticket discount [use promo code: LEGACY].
All I truly ask is that you SHOW UP & SHOW OUT!
