In the years after the Civil War, a quarter of the cowhands in the West were Black. Allan Harris is a jazz vocalist, guitarist and composer in Harlem who brings that story to life in “Cross That River” - a musical that comes to Southeast Tennessee on Thursday night, starting at 7:30 PM, at the Athens City Middle School.
The new season at Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga begins next week with “Doubt: A Parable.” The play by John Patrick Shanley premieres on Friday, February 17th at Rivermont Presbyterian on Hixson Pike - one of three venues for ETC this season.
