Art Prevails Project presents The Happening: A Theatrical Mixtape, Volume III – A Woman’s Worth in the Abdo New River Room at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Thursday, October 14 – Sunday, October 17.
Filled with laughter, love and enlightenment, the production celebrates and highlights women, their obstacles and achievements, with a particular lens on how gender, race and class intersect. This latest installment in a series of multidisciplinary productions explores socially relevant topics through short plays interwoven with music, dance and poetry.
Featuring some of South Florida’s finest talent, The Happening: A Theatrical Mixtape, Volume III is written and directed by Darius V. Daughtry, founder and artistic director of Art Prevails Project.
“I’m excited to partner with the Broward Center to bring such an important project to our community,” Daughtry said. “Artists serve to shed light where necessary and shine light when needed; this show does just that.”
Art Prevails Project is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 performing and literary arts organization committed to impacting South Florida and beyond by providing engaging and authentic artistic and cultural experiences through performance and education. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach rooted in theatre and creative writing, it strives to entertain, educate and inspire.
The event is presented as part of the Broward Center’s yearlong Arts For Action: Black Voices initiative that explores how the arts and artists can be a force for change in addressing critical issues of social justice and racial inequality. The initiative is funded through the Community Foundation of Broward’s Art of Community grant program, which aims to use the arts as a tool or catalyst to heighten awareness, deepen knowledge, and mobilize action on social justice issues. Support has been provided by the following Funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Mary N. Porter Community Impact Fund, Community Concerts Association of Fort Lauderdale Performing Arts Fund, A Fund for the Performing Arts and the Linda and Michael Carter Fund. Additional supporters of the initiative include BBX Capital Foundation and JM Family Enterprises, Inc.
