Do you live in AZ or know someone who does? Make sure to check out The Black Theater Troupe’s production of Wedding Band. There are shows Sept 19 at 2pm, Sept 20 at 8pm, Sept 21 at 2pm and 8pm and Sept 22 at 3pm.

Wedding Band is the story of an interracial couple in 1918. Near the end of World War 1, Julia a black woman and Herman a Jewish baker are deeply in love. They have been together for 10 years, despite the very real threat of arrest and criminal punishment under the laws of South Carolina for any interracial couple who marry or live together.
