Common Ground Theatre’s “Little Rock”

As part of Jacobs Presents: Black History Month Celebrations, you’re invited to a FREE preview production of “Little Rock” by Common Ground Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 29 at the Joe and Vi Jacobs Center’s Celebration Hall.

“Little Rock” tells the true story of the experiences of the nine black students who integrated into the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The play honors the bravery of the students and highlights how they suffered and what they ultimately achieved.

Based in San Diego, Common Ground Theatre’s mission is “to produce classics and new works by and about people of African descent that entertain, educate and connect with audiences of all ages, cultures and backgrounds.”
