The Juneteenth Story

An original play by Twana Benoit · Directed by Josiah Price
Freedom didn't arrive all at once. In Texas, the word didn't reach the enslaved until June 19, 1865 — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had already declared it.
Heritage Parc's Black Theatre Experience and the SWLA Juneteenth Committee bring a cornerstone of Acadiana's Juneteenth holiday weekend to the stage of the Acadiana Center for the Arts for two performances only.
Friday, June 19 - 7:30 PM
Saturday, June 20 - 2:00 PM
