The Asante Children's Theatre (ACT) proudly presents  The Inter-generational Kwanzaa Community Choir!

When a child feels they are a part of a community, they are motivated to make it function well. 

The Kwanzaa principles [Umoja (unity); Kujichagulia (self-determination);Ujima (collective work and responsibility) Ujamaa (cooperative economics); Nia (purpose); Kuumba (creativity); Imani (faith) are fundamental concepts that, if incorporated into daily living, will strengthen values and enrich families. 

We also know that music and choral singing, like so many other art forms, has an appeal that crosses generational lines, gender lines and cultural lines.  Our goal is to educate, empower, and enlighten program participants and audiences.  Therefore, through the Inter-generational Kwanzaa Community Choir, we stimulate music appreciation and reinforce Indiana's Academic Standards for Music. 

The Choir debuted in 2005; our current music inventory consists of Negro spirituals, jazz, gospel, country and western, reggae, and blues.   The Choir is available for bookings from November through March.  The size of the choir is 7 to 30 members.  We are available to complement a program or serve as the centerpiece of an event.

Prices are negotiable and are contingent upon the program requested, i.e., number of members we use, length of time, level of musical accompaniment and travel. Our fees are used to provide tuition assistance to Academy members, pay a stipend to participating alumni, cover marketing expenses, purchase supplies, and uniforms.
