Alumni Night at Hartford Stage - "Breath & Imagination"
Alumni Night at Hartford Stage - "Breath & Imagination"
January 26th in Hartford, CT
The HBS Club
of Connecticut has invited us to the theater. Please join distinguished
alumni from the Greater Hartford area on January 26th at the Hartford
Stage for a special evening of networking and culture featuring the
world premier of a new play by Daniel Beaty: Breath & Imagination:
The Story of Roland Hayes
• From 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM schmooze with fellow alumni in a private lounge with an open bar and buffet dinner.
• At 8:00 PM sit down for a world premiere play about a
fascinating figure almost lost to the history books, Roland Hayes. The
play features an all-star cast and original music including spirituals,
operatic arias, and classical vocals.
About the play:
Before Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson, there was Roland Hayes—the
first world-renowned African-American classical vocalist. Born the son
of a slave, Roland discovered his voice as a young boy singing
spirituals in church. This play chronicles his amazing journey from a
plantation in Georgia, to singing before kings and queens in Europe.
Breath & Imagination explores the life of an American pioneer
through words, movement, spirituals and classical music
This event is a collaboration among several alumni groups in the
Greater Hartford Area, including Wharton, Stanford and Princeton, so
this networking opportunity is not to be missed. Significant others are
welcome too, so make this a date night as well!
These V.I.P. tickets are limited (only 60 available); don't wait to RSVP by clicking here. Price is $120 per person and includes open bar, buffet dinner, theatre ticket and parking.
