Make It Happen Theatre Company (MIH) has the exciting opportunity to collaborate with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI) for an innovative, educational, performing arts program that teaches Civil Rights History during a Summer Drama Day Camp. The objective of this program is to explore the importance of expression for today’s youth and the different ways one can communicate physically, verbally, musically and overall, artistically, to present important, historical stories through the performing arts. The program will culminate in a live performance, giving each student a voice to boost their confidence, which will inspire a lifetime of purpose-driven accomplishments. 

Drama Camp students will perform the original play, A. G. Gaston: The Man, the Mogul and His Mission, written by Alicia Johnson-Williams, under the direction of LaShanna R. Tripp, with choreography by Byron Bradley. A Family and Friend Public Viewing takes place on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 2:00 p.m.
