Well look at the sun poppin out for a playa birthday and thaaaaangs! I see you sun. Today, I breathe. I’m present and ready to experience all the joy in this day. Everyone is asking me what I will do. I plan to laugh, to play, to dance and even get me some frolicking in. I want to see this day with childlike eyes and enjoy what adults often forget. Spin, twirl and move. Celebrate you, tell your body thank you for bringing you to this moment. Life is meant to be lived. Do what you love. Talk to those you love. Hug each other and forgive yourself. 🥂 Cheers! by @challarock

One of the most challenging and important parts of putting together a show like "Belly: An American Love Story" has been the choreography (shoutout to Leslie Bivans, our magnificent choreographer, for her expertise and patience). It is, after all, half of the term for what we are presenting; a choreopoem. In today's interview, our cast talks about how movement factors into their performances: THIS IS THE FINAL WEEKEND FOR "BELLY: AN AMERICAN LOVE STORY"! Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to be entertained, educated, challeged, and encouraged that a better future is possible all at once. The next show will be Friday, 8/21/26, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets for all remaining performances (August 21 & August 22), are available now, and are $25 for General Admission, $20 for Students and Senior Citizens. Tickets can be purchased at https://hitw.org/tickets/ or at the box office. Volunteer opportunities for front of house positions (Box Office, Concessions, and Bartender) are available for all performances. Anyone who volunteers for a front of house position can see the show for free! If you’d like to volunteer, sign up at https://hitw.org/volunteer/ by @challarock

Happy Writing ✌🏿❤️ ___________________________________________  Melanated Tales is a writing workshop that looks at Black Cinema as the muse for inspiration.
