From the time he was four years old in the hills of Patrick County, rhythm, blues and a whole lot of soul have been running through T.C. Carter's veins.

With Antwan Glenn on drums, Brandon Penn on bass guitar and Chelsey Carter singing vocals, T.C. Carter Band’s music feeds the soul and spreads good vibes.

Inspired by the exhibit, Leaves of the Tree, the performance will take place in the museum's galleries where the dancers and audience will be surrounded by falling leaves and a towering tree created by artists Charlie Brouwer and Jennifer L. Hand. The powerful performance brings the vivid forces of earth, water, fire, wind, flora and fauna to life and echos a plea through the universal language of dance for an end to the abuse of our planet, La Madre Tierra (Mother Earth).
Founded in 1997 in Richmond, Virginia under the direction of Ana Ines King, a native of Colombia, Latin Ballet of Virginia combines technical excellence with a soulful depth of emotion and an unwavering commitment to education, diversity and accessibility.

In 1952, the Supreme Court heard a number of school segregation cases, including Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. It ruled unanimously in 1954 that segregation was unconstitutional, overthrowing Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which set the “separate but equal” precedent. In this one-man play, Mike Wiley recounts the effects of the decision on the families who participated in the original court case, the impact of the ruling on school systems at the time and the challenges still being made today.
Reception at 6:30 pm. Performance at 7 pm.
