🚀💫 SPACE IS THE PLACE!🪐✨
TSU Theatre invites elementary school groups to blast off with SUN RA, an original, devised theatre production inspired by the life and extraordinary imagination of Sun Ra, the legendary jazz musician, composer, and bandleader whose innovative music and cosmic vision continue to inspire generations of artists.
Created and directed by Professor David Landry, SUN RA explores the man, myth, and legend of this Black musical genius, his extraordinary travels, and the gathering of his illustrious ARKESTRA!
This bold, colorful, and musical adventure promises to spark the imaginations of young audiences. Who knows? Your students might even get a chance to board the mothership with us! 🛸
