The Rosendale Theatre Collective presents “Let It Shine!” – a living history musical celebrating the greatness of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 2 PM.

Rev. Dr. King lived an extraordinary life, and it was on April 4, 1968 that this civil rights icon, revered throughout the world, was killed by an assassin’s bullet in Memphis. The world has changed greatly since 1968, but King’s timeless messages continue to resonate in the present day. Join us as we pay tribute to his legacy with an all-star lineup: Oliver King as MLK; interpretive dancers Keely Wright with the Hudson Valley Conservatory Dancers and Energy Dance Company; vocalists Miss Rene Bailey, Franklyn Gillis, The Gold Hope Duo featuring Lara Hope, and Marlene Merritt; with special guests drummer/storyteller Ubaka Hill, bassist Robert Kopec, Rev. Nick (Tecumseh Red Cloud) Miles, Parrots for Peace; Kitt Potter, Redwing Blackbird Theater, and more!
