Jamestown, ND  (KCSi-T.V. News)  —  The Jamestown College Convocation Committee is hosting Minneapolis’ Mixed Blood Theatre’s performance of Dr. King’s Dream, a celebration of the life and career of Dr. Martin Luther King in this acclaimed production drawn from his own letters, sermons, books and speeches, including the timeless “I Have A Dream”. The performance is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013, in Voorhees Chapel. Admission is free.

Warren C. Bowles’ commanding solo performance is stirring and poignant. Bowles has toured for Mixed Blood as Dr. King since 1981. Among the most memorable of his scores of credits at Mixed Blood’s historic firehouse theater are Lucien in The Boys Next Door, the title role in Cyrano de Bergerac, and the professor in Oleanna.  He directed the theatre’s touring production of Daughters of Africa and wrote and directed African America.

Dr. King’s Dream is one of four culturally-specific productions toured this season by Mixed Blood Theatre, a Minneapolis-based multicultural theatre company founded in 1976.  The others include Theory of Mind, about a young man on the autism spectrum; Daughters of Africa, a music-driven history of African American women; and African America, a look at recent immigrants to Minnesota from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Liberia.
