🖤 Honoring JUNETEENTH at Perisphere Theater 🖤 TONIGHT, Perisphere Theater will acknowledge Juneteenth by donating 50% of ticket proceeds from Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh to Hope for Haiti (https://hopeforhaiti.com/) The French Revolution—central to our play—ignited revolutionary movements across the globe, including the Haitian Revolution, a powerful fight for freedom led by enslaved Black people. On Juneteenth, we honor that legacy and stand in solidarity with Black and Caribbean communities by supporting ongoing efforts for equity and empowerment. Join us in celebrating liberation through art, history, and action. Tell your friends that their ticket purchase for the Juneteenth performance goes to support this cause. (fb)
