Join us for a full read-through (and sing-through!) of a new, original musical in development: Bridge City. Written by Kennen Butler and presented by American Legacy Theatre, Bridge City delves into the Black experience in America, celebrating the dreams, joy, and aspirations of the Black community while exploring societal pressures without focusing on trauma. Bridge City opens a conversation about the many ways to be Black, making it a family affair filled with meaningful connection and insight.

Come and engage with the world of Bridge City; Your voice will be empowered to help reshape and inform the continued writing for Kennen. You get to be a part of the creation!

Bridge City is a piece developed through ALT's Playwrights for Change - a program supported in part by the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation. ALT receives additional support from the Ohio Arts Council and the generosity of community contributions to the annual ArtsWave campaign, the region’s primary source for arts funding.
