On June 17, members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Sigma Lambda Omega Chapter Arts Committee attended the 28th Annual NAACP Theatre Awards, and what an extraordinary evening it was!  Heavy hitters such as actors Loretta Divine, Richard Roundtree, Kimberly Elise, Margaret Avery, and Wendy Raquel Robinson were among many featured in attendance. 
 
Hosted by the lovely and talented Loni Love the event showcased the talented acts of young artists performing Westside Story of the Amazing Grace Conservatory founded by Wendy Raquel Robinson.  Lillias White, who once performed Dreamgirls on Broadway received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Trailblazer Award went to none other than Viola Davis, the first African-American actress to win both a Tony and an Emmy award. 
 

Calling the NAACP Theatre Awards “a necessary experience and journey that must remain continuous,” an article inside of the NAACP Theatre Awards program information entitled, Black Theatre, touches on the outstanding historical contributions of the Harlem Renaissance giving rise to Black Theatre companies, and writer, theatre producer, and director Amiri Baraka’s establishment of the Black Arts Repertory during the celebrated Black Arts Movement. The article goes on to express how Black Theatre has opened the door for creatively talented African-American artists and artists of different ethnicities around the world.
