S1E36 - Memphis' Cultural Renaissance

Memphis is home many things (Blues, BBQ, and Beale), including the _only _free-standing Black repertory theater in the Mid-South (which happens to be one of only four in the whole country!). Hattiloo Theatre is a remarkable asset to Memphis not only for its contributions to the art sector but to elevating Memphis culture as a whole.

Ekundayo Bandele of Hattiloo Theatre shares how 2020 provided a re-set, the impact of Black theatre, and the specifics of Memphis' current "cultural renaissance." He dives into the true spirit of our city in his 2018 TEDxMepmhis talk, why it's critical to focus on "Raising Your Cultural Quotient." Take a listen here!
