A Fusion of Play, Creativity, and Legacy

Discover and celebrate the stories of artists and pioneers from the African Diaspora, both past and present and their impactful contributions to our world and society.

Discover your creativity as you and fellow audience members, friends, or family team up to compete in games that incorporate music, dance, storytelling, improv, and trivia for prizes and bragging rights, of course! The magic lies in the fearless 'I'll give it a try' spirit, and the support participants offer each other.

Step into the world of imagination and excitement where the audience brings art to life with the dynamic duo, your hosts: Chino Gonzales and Merri Ann Osborne.
