Black Crown at the Bowie CPA, Sep 8

Black Crown at the Bowie Bowie Center for the Performing Arts, Sep 8

The Shelby Baggott Company presents:
Black Crown
Saturday, September 8, 2018 at 7:30pm

Location: Bowie Center for the Performing Arts.

Black Crown was written to inspire youth to reach their full potential and to prevent acts of domestic violence. This play was inspired by NeShante Davis and Chloe Davis-Green whose lives were taken in a grievous act of domestic violence. We intend for this play to serve as a domestic violence prevention tool by educating spectators to identify toxic relationships. The death of this Bowie State alumnae and her toddler impacted Bowie State University, as well as the Prince George’s County community. This county needs emotional healing that only the arts can provide. We plan to use this theatrical platform to create social change in honor of NeShante Davis and Chloe Davis-Green.

Tickets: $25. Click here.
