Experience Caribbean culture with live music, acting and dance with The White House Studios (TWHS) performing arts and educational group. TWHS is showcasing Caribbean theatre in June 2018 during National Caribbean-American Heritage Month (NCAHM) for two shows with book and craft vendors - all at the Takoma Park Community Center.

The production features the talents of awarded Director Kwesi Oginga, awarded Designer Fawn Jordan, TWHS Director, Choreographer and awarded Artist Althea Grey-McKenzie, and our wonderful cast of seasoned and beginning artists.
