Artistic excellence centerstage in STL at 37th Annual BTN conference
The cultural excellence and sense of community that St. Louis hosted last weekend as part of the Black Theatre Network’s 37th Annual Conference had to be experienced to be fully understood.
“There are 50, 60, 70 theatres represented in this room, but we are one Black theatre,” Dr. Indira Etwaroo, inaugural director of the Apple’s Steve Jobs Theater at Apple and Executive Director emeritus of the Billie Holiday Theatre, told the audience for the BTN Festival’s opening keynote address Thursday afternoon.
