We are so excited to host a conversation between Katrice Hardy, the executive editor of The Greenville News, and Wanda Lloyd, author of Coming Full Circle: From Jim Crow to Journalism on Monday, February 24th at 7:00pm.
Wanda is a former managing editor of The Greenville News, and is here to share her inspirational and groundbreaking story. Her memoir Coming Full Circle: From Jim Crow to Journalism shows the interaction between race, gender, power, and media as Wanda grew up in the Jim Crow Era South, and eventually became one of the first African American women to be a top editor of mainstream daily newspaper in America.
Wanda has since gotten her honorary doctorate from Spelman College, and was recently inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame.
We are so excited to have these two incredibly accomplished women in store to speak, and will have copies of Coming Full Circle: From Jim Crow to Journalism on hand for purchase.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday Party to Benefit the Greenville Jazz Collective
Greenville, SC – February 19, 2020 – Most “Mardi Gras” celebrations take place on the weekends before or after Fat Tuesday but rarely on the actual TUESDAY, according to an informal survey of Greenvillians who enjoy dressing up and partying for a cause.
The Greenville Jazz Collective, in partnership with Chicora Alley (downtown location), want to rectify this tragic situation. No offense to other Mardi Gras parties around town but where can a person go on the actual “Fat Tuesday” to let their proverbial freak flag fly? Here’s a solution that’s just waiting to become a Greenville party tradition:
“Chicora Alley will host a Mardi Gras-themed party on TUESDAY, February 25th to benefit the nonprofit Greenville Jazz Collective with live jazz from 6PM to midnight, food and drink specials, and Chicora’s (soon to be) World Famous Fat Tuesday Gumbo,” according to the nonprofit’s executive director, Bruce Burney.
The party is open to the public ($10 cover) and Chicora is donating 15% of proceeds from the night’s sales to support the very active cultural organization and its many programs, including the Youth Jazz Ensemble, the Furman/GJC Summer Jazz Camp, and the JazzEd Ensemble, which visits elementary, middle, and high schools throughout Greenville and the Upstate to educate students about this uniquely American art form.
“Ben Dixon and the folks at Chicora have long been supportive of our efforts and the restaurant serves as a kind of hub of activity for us, hosting a monthly open jazz jam and 17-piece Big Band concert on the first and third Wednesdays of every month, respectively,” says Burney. “We are very thankful for their commitment and hope that Greenville party-goers will come out on this special weeknight to have fun and help out a great nonprofit at the same time,” he added.
The Greenville Jazz Collective was incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 2013 and is dedicated to the performance, presentation, understanding, and appreciation of the jazz tradition and modern improvised music.

Hello Flat Rock Playhouse Patrons, Donors, Friends, and all-around ‘Peeps!’
Please take a few minutes to take the survey and help us as we begin planning for the 2021 season and beyond. We’ve listed a pretty large range of shows because we want to know what you’re interested in seeing on the stage. Please choose your TOP 10 favorites in each category; Musicals and Plays. You will also have the opportunity to write in a title or author that may not otherwise be listed. Please only choose ten of each so we can narrow down your preferences.
As an added note, we endeavor to give you exactly what your heart most desires. That said, there are many factors that go into selecting shows. Are the rights available? Can we afford to produce it properly? Does it align with our Union obligations? These questions and many more are all part of the process and influence what productions we select. It’s important to everyone at Flat Rock Playhouse that we deliver as much of what the audience desires as we can whenever we can.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your preferences with us. We are hugely grateful for the insight!
Sincerely,
The Artistic Team

Marchant Real Estate Agent, Celeste Purdie, will be among ten Women Veterans to be awarded with a Quilt of Valor from the Upstate SC Quilt of Valor Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
A Quilt of Valor is the highest award a Veteran or Active Duty member of the Military can receive from a civilian foundation. The Quilt of Valor is uniquely made for each Veteran, so no two quilts are alike. Each quilt takes about 60 to 70 hours to complete and are made with love to provide comfort and healing to the courageous men and women who have bravely and selflessly served our country.
Celeste was selected to receive the quilt by Tamika Rowe, one of Marchant Real Estate’s veteran clients who Celeste assisted in purchasing her very first home. Tamika volunteers for the Quilt of Valor Foundation and will be presenting Celeste with her quilt at the ceremony. “Tamika works selflessly for veterans in our area in several volunteer roles and inspired me to get more involved in organizations that support women veterans,” says Celeste.
