T. S. Banks is directing a collection of spoken word pieces and monologues in the Loud N Unchained Black Theater Festival.
The LNU (Loud âN Unchained) Black Theater Festival, which debuts on April 30, has been several years in the making. Producer Dana Pellebon says it feels long overdue.
âI was actually the last member added to the team,â Pellebon says in a recent interview. âBut this idea aligned really well with my goals as a director, producer and artist. Iâve been working for a while to create a space to showcase Black theater artists.â

Editor s note: Story revised as of 12:30 p.m. Dec. 21 to show Trustee Paul Haggett voted yes on appointing a teacher/teacher assistant substitute. Due to a glitch in the Zoom stream, it appeared as though Haggett was voting no. His feed froze after he had raised his hand among the yes votes.
