“One Voice: A Black History Narrative”
Feb 26 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Pickens County Performing Arts Center

One voice is a performance and live experience opportunity for historical and entertainment value. The show was birthed from the idea that many African American trials and triumphs could be better explained by the voices themselves, and not just the page or political platform. Over 50,000 audience members have been a witness of these retellings, from South Carolina to Chicago to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, where the loudest voice was heard in 1963. It is my hope that you and your group would listen, feel, and choose to let this information embolden you to use your “one voice” to make a positive change in your community and world, as these characters have done during their space and time.

This “theatrical landmark has transformed theater and the way we think about history” (The New York Times)

Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.

With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography. It has won Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.
