Voices of the Nile is the brain child of Jenny Larson (artistic director of SVT) and Zell Miller, III.

This social conscious workshop involved African American men under the age 21 and all members are also members of the The Cipher Hip-Hop Project. Come witness as these amazing African American men use the mediums of spoken word, hip-hop culture, and movement based theater to explore the joy and horrors of what it is to be young, black and male in American society. Voices of the Nile will feature: J-Redd, Blue-J, Battle, and Chi-Town and it is directed by Zell Miller, III.

Tutto Theatre Company's "Black Snow"

[ Jun 26 - Jul 12, Thurs-Sun @8pm ]

Sergei Maxudov, a proofreader for the Shipping Gazette, has written an awful palimpsest of a novel, entitled Black Snow, and decides to hang himself on account, that is until a strange visitor pounds on his door and offers to publish it. This is Sergei’s introduction to the outrageous world of publishing and from there, to the downward spiral of adapting one’s work for the stage. Nine actors portray 54 characters, the often absurd, sometimes vicious employees of the famed Moscow Art Theatre, each poised to cut, slice, rip, edit, mutilate, and otherwise butcher the script in this tour-de-force performed at breakneck speed. See for yourself how hard it really is to develop a new play as Mikhail Bulgakov’s Black Snow savages the theatrical world of post-revolutionary Russia.

Featuring: Gabriel Luna, Smaranda Ciceu, Francisco Rodriguez, Amy Downing, Maarouf Naboulsi, Ron Weisburg, Verity Branco, Diego Larrea-Puemape, & Kyle Lagunas; with Scene Design by Lisa Laratta, Lighting Design by Megan M. Reilly, & Costume Design by Kim H. Ngo.
