*KARAMU HOSTS VIRTUAL LIVE EVENTS

Beginning February 1, Karamu House and The Musical Theater Project (TMTP) present a multimedia concert of Shuffle Along, a legendary African American production that was the first-ever jazz musical and one of the first-ever Broadway productions to be written and performed by an all-Black cast.

To read my 2019 review of the show go to royberkinfo/history-changing-shuffle-along.

While free to access, individuals must register on the Karamu website to view the program. Click here to watch The Impact of Shuffle Along. It’s available through Sunday February 28.
