Allen's show had Broadway quality

Rannah Gray The Advocate page 4B Monday, April 21, 2008 "Brothers of the Night" produced and directed by Debbie Allen was recently shown at the Magnolia Performing Arts Pavilion at Baton Rouge Community College. The play was said to have Broadway quality and was filled with an astounded audience, who sat from the opening number to the final curtain call full of excitement. The article first talks about how Debbie Allen has come back to Baton Rouge, aplace where she called home countless summers as a child. After a breif bit about Allen, the article goes on to say thanks to a number of different people. Derek Gordon, CEO of the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge is responsible for bringing Allen back down to share with us some of her magnificent plays. Also to thank is Mayor-President Kip Holden and other sponsers who made it possible to pay for a place for Ms. Allen to reside. Finally the article talks about the love of theatre and the way it can bring people of all ages, nationalities, and races together for a beautiful show and to learn about your dreams. I think this is a rather boring article that gets nothing accomplished. I mean I am glad Debbie Allen came to Baton Rouge and put on a great show, but the whole part about the theatre bringing people together is quite a stretch and a little out there.
