The Paul Robeson Theatre will present, Steppin: Percussion, Rhythm and Soul Review, starting April 24, which will feature some of the award-winning Richard B. Harrison Players.

Amazed by the performances of local fraternities and sororities, A&T professor Miller Lucky felt it was about time to showcase a rich history that comes from the experience of attending a black school.

“Steppin will showcase the heartbeat and pulse of A&T,” said Lucky, who created and directed this production.

Senior theatre major and “Steppin” cast member Lelund Thompson expressed in a past interview with the Register that after graduating from high school, he wanted to attend a historically black college so he could experience things that go on at a HBCU such as the marching bands, fraternities, homecoming and step shows.

Guest performer and percussionist extraordinaire Alejandro King will accompany the players, as well as invited fraternities, sororities and drill teams. Come out to see history in the making when theater and step show meet in an explosive collision.
