Students are performing their first production entitled "Fela!," which is a musical about the Nigerian musician and political activist Fela Kuti.
The energetic production is in honor of Black History Month.
"There was a period of time growing up when I was very ashamed of my own color," student Alana Bright said. "So, when I came to theater and I started acting, I made it a point to, as a black woman, portray the most realistic, most honest stories of minorities in order to make other kids in the audience feel comfortable in their own skin."
Tickets are available online.
