I’m here with a couple of mentees. We’re here with Pentecostal Temple. We’ve got a mentorship program and brought them out to get some exposure to something other than just playing games and watching TV. [It was] a very intellectual type of play [about the first black pilots in the U.S. Air Force]. It really changes your mindset and perspective on life and what our forefathers went through. The guys played their parts well. You could really feel the emotion throughout the [play]. You could really see the transformation that happened in the individuals’ lives. I’d be happy to see it again. I’m used to seeing stuff at the Benedum and Byham and to see something here, at a theater right here in East Liberty, was really good. I’ve never heard of this theater, and I come by this street all the time.
