ABOUT

In 1980, I Have A Dream directed by Claude Purdy developed into

Dr. King’s Dream.

It was performed by Warren Bowles for the first of 2000 times in the theater’s extensive touring program.

Mixed Blood Theatre, a professional, multi-racial company, promotes cultural pluralism and individual equality through artistic excellence, using theater to address artificial barriers that keep people from succeeding in American society.
