Crossroads School will host a special benefit performance of “The Colored Museum,” featuring the cast of the St. Louis Black Repertory Company at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, at the Grandel Square Theater, Grand at Delmar. Funds raised at the performance will benefit more than 30 percent of Crossroads students receiving tuition assistance from the school. “The Colored Museum,” a comedy and satire, features “Eleven exhibits exposing what whites and blacks have been mistakenly assuming about themselves and each other for far too long.” Crossroads School is St. Louis’s only private secondary school east of I-170. Founded in 1974 by Arthur and Carol Lieber, Crossroads now marks its 20th anniversary with this special performance.
An exceptionally diverse student population ensures that Crossroads students appreciate differences among themselves and different cultures they study and develop their ability to cooperate with many different people. Crossroads’ approach to educating middle and upper school students result in a high degree of student responsibility for learning and in admission to the top 25 colleges and universities for the top third, of the senior class. Margie Wolcott May is the Honorary Chair for the Black Rep Benefit for Crossroads School. Michael C. Williams and Anne Spencer are co-chairs for the event.
