At 8 p.m. tonight the FAMU Connection will perform its 25th Anniversary show, “Celebrate: No Turning Back,” in Lee Hall Auditorium.
This popular ensemble gives a high-energy performance of Broadway show tunes, contemporary gospel and music from the “King of Pop.”
The touring ensemble was founded 25 years ago by former FAMU President Frederick S. Humphries and Ronald O. Davis, professor emeritus and former director of the theatre program, to entertain and draw to college-bound students to attend FAMU recruitment fairs.
Comprised of students from different areas of study, the group continues to travel with FAMU President James H. Ammons bringing music, dance and information about the university to high school students throughout the Southeastern Region of the nation.
According to Wells, this performance of “Celebrate: No Turning Back” will be the first of several for the FAMU Connection this year. The Connection’s six-city fall tour schedule includes performances in Atlanta, Ga.; Orangeburg, S.C.; and several cities in south and central Florida.
“In celebration of our 25th Anniversary season, we are asking former Connection members to join us on stage in all the various cities,” said Luther Wells, director of the FAMU Connection. “It will be a Connection reunion.”
