A truly astounding work that resonates on many levels\, it is the only opera in existence about the Reconstruction Era African-American experience written by a black man who actually lived through it\, and this new production will celebrate the past but also reflect the present\, highlighting black excellence and the strength\, beauty\, and wisdom of Black women\, all led by stage director Roberta Emerson. \nJoplin’s tuneful score is a lively mix of ragtime\, vaudeville\, and grand opera\, with a big helping of heart and soul. Treemonisha is a young woman who leads her community against the influence of conjurers\, who prey on ignorance and superstition. Through Treemonisha’s confrontation with the conjurers the community realizes the value of education and Treemonisha leads them all into a bright and bountiful future of education\, opportunity\, and prosperity. \nTreemonisha will be sung in English with English and Spanish supertitles and have a run time of approximately one hour and 30 minutes with no intermission. The theater will be in a thrust configuration\, with seating on three sides. \nShow dates:\nMay 16\, 2025 at 7:30 p.m.\nMay 17\, 2025 at 2 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.\nMay 18\, 2025 at 2 p.m. URL:https://ghacc.org/events/opera-orlando-presents-treemonisha/ LOCATION:Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater\, 445 South Magnolia Avenue\, Orlando\, FL\, 32801\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ghacc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Treemonisha-Featured-Image.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Opera Orlando":MAILTO:info@operaorlando.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250517T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250517T190000 DTSTAMP:20260408T125109 CREATED:20250119T022517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T132628Z UID:10000336-1747494000-1747508400@ghacc.org SUMMARY:Haitian Heritage Month & Flag Day Celebration DESCRIPTION: URL:https://ghacc.org/events/haitian-heritage-month-flag-day-celebration/ LOCATION:Bon Appetit\, 5787 Edgewater Dr\, Orlando\, FL\, 32810\, United States CATEGORIES:Business Event,Community Event,Community Outreach Event,Social Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ghacc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/695d40d9-7d9b-45cc-a7ad-e34fae6e5e05.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250527T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250527T200000 DTSTAMP:20260408T125109 CREATED:20250226T195439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T132441Z UID:10000358-1748368800-1748376000@ghacc.org SUMMARY:"Mastering Organizational Structure: Strategies for Success" at GHACC Academy DESCRIPTION:Join us at the National Entrepreneur Center (NEC) for a dynamic workshop focused on the importance of organizational structure in driving business success.
