DEFAULT ARTS PATRON

DEFAULT BLACK ARTS PATRON My wife informs me that Kansas City now has a Black Repertory Theater Company, which has a slate of presentations scheduled for the upcoming 2018 season. I love theater. A love heightened by the Ira Aldridge Theater's offerings at Howard U. in my 1970s' student days, the movement days of rage. One of the Kansas City productions is "A Soldier's Play." I had brought the Negro Ensemble Company's version of that great play to KC in 1984, as its default arts patron. It ran for a week at the Folly Theater. I was way out in front of our city, then, without realizing , nor fearing the outcome; as I was benefited by expiation of recent divorce pains. Life goes on. Plays come back; as I rejoice in my earlier remembrances.
