T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Directs Gee's Bend at Star Center Theatre

As we approach the 55th anniversary of the Selma march, I'm excited to be directing a theatre piece that sheds light of one of the small communities that supported the civil rights movement, and the women there, who turned scraps of worn fabric into treasured art. If you are in the Gainesville, FL area, please join us for a performance!
