About Live Garra Theatre:
Live Garra Theatre, Inc., a professional theatre, employs the cultural arts as a way to address universal social-life issues: to ‘live Garra’ (Portuguese for prevail), means to go-the-distance and never give up; to illuminate all facets of a multicultural society; fostering cross-cultural understanding of the many ethnic voices in the community, reinforcing the value of diversity, strengthening the social connections among people.
As a resident company at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre, the organization operates out of the space as a performance training studio; an incubator for a core repertory of skilled poets, playwrights, and artists, as well as providing a ‘safe harbor’ for the youth. Live Garra Theatre aspires to fill the void of culturally specific Theatre, preserving the unique legacy of the African-American heritage and contribute to the survival of Black Theatre.
JUNETEENTH FREEDOM JUBILEE opens Saturday, June 19th – 8:00 pm and runs through Sunday, June 26th – 3:00 pm at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre – 8641 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD 20910. For more information: (855) 575-4834
