GreetinGs from the Black academy of arts and letters (tBaal)!
The late president John F. Kennedy once said, “I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed
over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in policies, but for
our contributions to the human spirit.” These words could not have been more profound at this point in
TBAAL’s and our nation’s and world history. We want you, our patrons, to remember us for preserving,
promoting, cultivating and fostering the arts and letters of the African, Caribbean and African American experience. We
want you to remember us for the diversity of programs we continue to offer.
Our 32nd season was a blast! And as we venture into our 33rd season, I am even more energized and thrilled for you to see
what we have in store just for you! The music soars! The theatre is heartrending! The dance dazzles! The films entertain!
The visual arts exhibits are rich and effervescent! From the emerging to the veteran artists, our 33rd season is filled with a
potpourri of entertainment!
As we continue to diversify and broaden our reach to strengthen our partnerships and alliances with venues like the Dallas
Center for the Performing Arts and other institutions in America, we enthusiastically have embarked upon fertile and
unchartered ground where we endeavor to jointly share our artistic ideas, examine our thoughts and have a positive discourse
about “our contributions to the human spirit.”
For season 33 at TBAAL, I invite you to join forces with us to not only support our enterprise here but to help catapult us in
moving forward to fulfill our American desire to make Dallas an even greater arts city and thriving third cultural coast.
For season 33 at TBAAL, I encourage you to get your tickets now and become a member and enjoy the many benefits and
discounts, at a very modest price, as only a TBAAL member can obtain. Get on our mailing list, email database and receive
constant programs updates and corporate surprise gifts. Visit our website at www.tbaal.org and learn more about TBAAL’s
incredible 33 year journey!
When you support us, you’re supporting a legacy, an institution and a generation
of children yet to be born!

Clarence Muse Café Theatre - $15
This riotous comedy tells the story of men who left women but the women should have kept
them and the men that women let go, they should have held on to. From the moment DAVID
WHITFIELD makes his stage entrance, every minute and second is filled with music, drama and
laughter in this one man show about stuff in the lives of men and women.
“BLACK JOURNEY”

NaomiBrutonMainStage-$10;$6.98for5ormore
The remarkable voyage of a people from the villages of Africa to modern-day America, this musical
celebrates African American influence and contributions in every field of endeavor from science
and industry to education and literature; from the performing and visual arts to government and
community service. The journey begins its portrait with African chants and progresses to gospel
music and continues its path through jazz, blues, rag, swing, rock-n-roll and rap.

When the first African American U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said, “Though this nation
