NOW THROUGH OCT. 8, 2023 (evenings & matinees)

GUEST: PAM MACKINNON / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

A.C.T. Artistic Director Pam MacKinnon joins David to talk about what it takes to bring the hippest, coolest, dancing-est musical to the stage, while also telling the story of Don Cornelius, the man and the genius behind the original idea. Cornelius often took risks in his personal life, while his career and contributions to Soul music and culture often did not always get the acknowledgement and airplay as much as the music did.
