“In Song and Conversation: a cultural exchange between Franklin County and Senegal.”

 Details to be announced. For more info go to: https://sheatheater.org

The Shea Theater: 71 Avenue A, Turner’s Falls, MA.

 Both The Shea Theater and The Senegal-America Project see themselves connecting communities near and far through the arts… and that’s exactly what’s happening here. Franklin county residents Tony Vacca (percussionist, USA) and Abdou Sarr (dancer, Senegal) have been performing in support of the S.A.P. for over two decades. And so have the rest of these performers. They’ll be joined by longtime project members, poet Ms. Tantra Zawadi (Brooklyn) and electric violinist Derrik Jordan of Brattleboro, VT.

 Videographer and Franklin County resident Scot Broderick has created an accompanying video for the grant that is making The Shea Theater’s presentation possible. Global to local… it’s all part of what the arts can do to bring us together.
