SUMMARY:The Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fascinating and dramatically compelling\, this eloquent play imagines a secret meeting between two of the most important men of modern times: Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Differing in their philosophies\, but alike in their mutual respect\, the two men debate their varying approaches to the same grave social problems. Giving the audience a glimpse of what might have been\, the play examines not only\, both the private lives and different ideologies\, but also the humanity of two devout men of faith\, loving fathers\, husbands and leaders willing to lay down their lives for the cause of justice; neither aware of how soon the assassins’ bullets await them.

SUMMARY:Ranky Tanky
DESCRIPTION:Ranky Tanky released their eponymous debut on Oct. 20th\, 2017.  By December of that year\, the group had been profiled on NPR’s “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross and their album soared to the #1 position on the Billboard\, i-Tunes\, and Amazon Jazz Charts.   \nThe group features singer Quiana Parler\, singer/guitarist Clay Ross\, trumpeter/singer Charlton Singleton\, bassist Kevin Hamilton\, and drummer Quentin Baxter. Singleton\, Hamilton\, and Baxter initially played together in the jazz ensemble\, Gradual Lean\, in the late ’90s\, not long after graduating from the College of Charleston. \nNow\, united by years apart and a deeper understanding of home\, these accomplished artists have come together once more\, joined by one of the low-country’s most celebrated vocalists\, Quiana Parler\, to revive a “Heartland of American Music” born in their own backyards.\n “Gullah” comes from West African language and means “a people blessed by God.” “Ranky Tanky” translates loosely as “Work It\,” or “Get Funky!” In this spirit this Charleston\, SC based quintet performs timeless music of Gullah culture born in the south eastern sea island region of the United States. From playful game songs to ecstatic shouts\, from heart-breaking spirituals to delicate lullabies\, the musical roots of Charleston\, SC are “rank” and fertile ground from which these contemporary artists are grateful to have grown.

SUMMARY:Jody Watley
DESCRIPTION:Jody Watley\, singer/songwriter/producer/businesswoman\, is one of the architects of 21st century pop genre. From her ground breaking marriage of rap & R&B to her vision-forward marriage of high fashion\, street fashion and music in the ‘80’s\, to her fusion of jazz and underground club culture with keen pop instincts\, Jody Watley forged the template that is now everybody’s playbook. She was the winner of the Best New Artist Grammy in 1987. Watley’s entire career has been about looking forward\, drawing inspiration from personal heroes and iconoclasts. The Chicago native’s eclectic repertoire – R&B\, hip-hop\, House\, jazz\, pop\, drum & bass\, ambient\, spoken-word – is built on a positive vision and a strong taste for artistic and aesthetic risk. For the past five years\, the ever multi-tasking Jody Watley has focused on both her thriving solo career and the group project “Jody Watley featuring SRL.” Much like Prince had The Revolution as extensions of his music\, SRL allows Watley another outlet for her artistic expression. SRL is a collective of gifted singers\, dancers\, and choreographers who bring their own cool style and vibe to Watley’s trademark high-energy performances.
