To celebrate African Heritage Month, the Fredericton Playhouse will host Amplifying our Stories & Voices, February 12, 2021 in partnership with the New Brunswick African Association and Battle of the Arts.
This multi-disciplinary show will feature local performers both professional and amateur showcasing Afro dance and drum, spoken word poetry, Congolese tunes, and more.
