gendancers, Arts to Grow invites you to their Summer Theater Program Final Performance, “Free to Be Me”. (Aww!) After six weeks of learning, students are ready to show off their skills by performing a collection of Langston Hughes poems. Kent Jackman, instructor, chose Hughes’ work because it reflects the African-American heritage of the students today.
