Songs From Home: An Evening of African Musical Theatre
An Evening of African Musical Theatre
Presented by African Broadway
A Night of Music. Story. Culture. Home.
Songs From Home is an intimate theatrical concert celebrating the richness and diversity of African musical theatre.
Through music, storytelling, live instrumentation, and staged excerpts, African Broadway brings together voices and works that explore the many ways Africans and the African Diaspora understand home, identity, culture, belonging, love, and community.
This special evening will feature selections from African musical theatre alongside original compositions and theatrical works, creating an experience that moves between concert, storytelling, and theatre.
60-75 minutes of live performance.
