EBONY PERFORMANCE...The 1967 Class of West Charlotte Senior High School is sponsoring the play "Ceremonies in Dark Old Men" at the high school's auditorium, Saturday night, Au gust 28. ι ne μι ay ieaiures iiieiiiuers 01 me £jDOny Group and Company consisting of Melvin McCullough, Willie J. Stradford Jr., Sandra McMullen, David Wilson, Arnold Haynes, Harold Dew Jr., and June B. Worthy. The group was formed in November of 1975. It, was the concensus of the founders of the group, Willie J. Stradford Jr., Sandra McMullen and Nathaniel Rorie, that although Charlotte was a city with several theatres, the opportunities for competent and talented minority actors here was extremely limited. In an effort to provide a theatrical outlet for the minority talent in the Charlotte-Mecklen burg area, the Ebony Group was formed. The play itself is a serious, forceful and moving drama about a black family and their struggle to change their way of life. The author, Lonnie Elder III, made the human inter-relation between all of the characters extremely essen tial to the body and blood of the story. The ingredients entwined with the adroit skills of director, Nathaniel Rorie, helped to bring about bewilderment and victory for all involved in the eternal struggle for survival.
