The Legacy of Black Musicians and Harrisburg's Hospitality Network Come Alive In A New Play by Sharia Benn and Clark Nicholson  Image

THE JACKSON ROOMING HOUSE: Music's Resting Place, a new work written by Sharia Benn and Clark Nicholson will be presented from February 10 to 24, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2:30 pm, at Gamut Theatre, 15 North 4th Street.

In this original work by Benn and Nicholson, what starts as a search for the perfect burger and a lost little brother leads a group of young friends on a journey of musical exploration and personal self-discovery. Through encounters with several mysterious strangers, they are led to reflect upon the legacy of Black musicians & the Harrisburg hospitality network that gave them safe lodging.

“This (The Jackson Rooming House) was a welcoming place for Blacks to eat, sleep, and conduct their business, and when that business was music, this place would come alive!”

THE JACKSON ROOMING HOUSE: Music's Resting Place is a joint production presented by the Dauphin County Commissioners, Sankofa African American Theatre Company, and Gamut Theatre Group.
