Lighting Designer Sought BRIDGE at American Legacy Theatre

MISSION

American Legacy Theatre generates inviting, reimagined theatrical experiences for all people to have a voice in enriching society.

Bridge City is an original full-length musical focused around community, family, loyalty to self, and normalizing the Black experience in pursuit of joy, dreams and aspirations. Developed by American Legacy Theatre since July 2024 through our “Playwright’s for Change” program, this piece is written and composed by Kennen Butler who is an NYC-based theatre artist that is non-binary and Black.

After two public-facing workshops performed for the community to receive direct feedback in shaping the continued development of the piece, Bridge City is now being produced as a full-scale world-premiere production.
