More About ACA: The Juneteenth Story
Black Theatre Experience and the SWLA Juneteenth Committee present The Juneteenth Story, an original play by Lafayette playwright Twana Benoit that brings history to life through the story of one family across two timelines: 1865 and today.
Blending faith, history, music, movement, and powerful storytelling, the production explores what freedom meant then and what it asks of us now. Join us at Acadiana Center for the Arts on June 19 and 20 for this moving community tradition that has inspired audiences across Acadiana for nearly two decades.
