Centerstage will host an evening with British artist Kwame Kwei-Armah on Thursday, February 18 at 7pm in the Pearlstone Theater. This event had previously been set for February 8, but has been rescheduled due to weather conditions which prevented the panel from occurring on that date.

Mr. Kwei-Armah will address the audience and then take part in a panel discussion with local community activists from the education, social justice, and arts communities. The evening will end with a question-and-answer session with the audience. The panelists will also include Doreen Bolger, Director of the Baltimore Museum of Art; Bashi Rose, Playwright, Director, and Co-founder of Nommo Theatre; and Debra Rubino, Director of Strategic Communications at OSI-Baltimore. Marc Steiner of WEAA Radio will moderate.

Kwei-Armah is a playwright, arts advocate, community activist, actor, and recording artist. His play, Elmina’s Kitchen, was produced at Centerstage in the 2004-2005- Season, and his play Let There Be Love is currently being presented through March 7.
