Western Carolina’s Black Theatre Ensemble wants to expose everyone to the history of black entertainment like it’s never been seen before. Put down your textbooks boys and girls, this lesson is being taught this Thursday and Friday evening through the use of acting, singing and dancing and poetry reciting on […]
The Beatles recorded some of the greatest music ever made. The problem is, or rather was, that they never got a chance to try and reproduce their studio marvels live. Many Beatles songs have never been played live by the Beatles themselves because technology did not allow for songs like […]
