Encore Stage & Studio will present two of its previous original local-history works during performances running the weekend of April 26-28.
The youth troupe developed “From Nauck to Green Valley” and “The Day Nothing Happened” through its Flip the Script initiative, looking at look history.
“From Nauck to Green Valley” details the history of an historically African-American community and the entrepreneurial spirit of its residents, while “The Day Nothing Happened” looks at the integration of Stratford Junior High School in 1959.
Performances are Friday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 27 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.; and Sunday, April 28 at 3 p.m. The 11 a.m. performance on Saturday will include a post-show discussion with Green Valley native, educator and historian Dr. Alfred Taylor Sr.
All performances will be at Theatre on the Run, 3700 South Four Mile Run Drive in Arlington. Tickets are $12-$15.
