7th Annual Statewide Ethnic History Parade and Festival: Karamu! Celebrate! Parade and Gospel Soiree

Saturday, February 4, 2012

South Carolina’s Ethnic History Parade and Festival (formerly the Black History Parade and Festival) was so renamed to honor the role of all our state’s ethnic groups.

The celebration of Ethnic History in the United States provides an opportunity to recognize the many significant contributions of those of African descent to America and the global village. Through the Karamu! Celebrate! Parade and Gospel Soiree', we seek to educate, entertain, and celebrate those achievements. Hence our motto:"Education through Entertainment.” Visit the Ethnic History Parade website.

Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots”: Township Auditorium

February 9-11, 2012

The story opens very early in the morning at the home of Grandma, Hattie Mae. She’s allowed her daughter, Rose and husband, Frank to move in with her along with their son. The family, who has fallen on hard times, is alarmed by an early morning phone call. It’s the local bank giving the family three days to pay the mortgage or be evicted. Frank, the man of the house, has been out of a job for months and his wife Rose has been supporting the family as a maid for a wealthy real estate giant. Frank finally gets a break when a job is offered as a handyman at the Willis estate. But longtime butler, Floyd, boldly expresses that it won’t be long before wealthy wife, Diane, will scheme to get her married paws into Frank. Back at grandma Hattie’s, things are slowly falling apart as she’s consumed with the thought of losing the house she’s been in for thirty years. On top of that, she’s worried about her grandson Wally whose running the streets at odd hours of the night. Tyler Perry’s, “The Haves and The Have Nots” is told with love, honor, and brutal truth. It will leave you crying, laughing, and wanting a better life for you and for those who may be less fortunate. Visit The Township's website for more info.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Town Theatre!

LAST WEEK

Based on the popular 1988 film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels focuses on two con men residing on the French Riviera. Meet Lawrence – a suave and sophisticated type who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Then there is Freddy – a small-time crook, who more humbly swindles women by earning their compassion through his fictitious fables about his grandmother’s failing health. Lawrence and Freddy soon discover that their small French town is only big enough for one of them. With neither swindler willing to depart without a fight, they agree to a contest. The first con man to extort $50,000 from Christine Colgate, a young female heiress, wins the right to keep hustling the residents of the Riviera. The loser must leave town. You'll be laughing out loud at this hilarious romp with an interesting twist at the end!
