Teresita Lopez 3rd Dallas opera is crossing the line with show boat
The Dallas opera house so hosting its first American musical, and today this year it show boat. No one ever knew that you can get together different types of talents in one stage. Show boat is really doing it this year! Combining all types of tablets such as Hip hop, tap, ball dancing, singin, and acting. All these talents are bright together by people with different cultural backgrounds. This makes a huge statement in history by showing how in 1927 people were very segregated. This was before the civil right act was passed. http://www.dallasnews.com/lifestyles/arts/headlines/20160408-how-the-dallas-opera-is-crossing-the-line-with-show-boat-1.ece

I was very wary of the fact that Showboat is the big musical this year, but after hearing how intense and fantastic they are approaching it this year, I am now very excited. Also, I will be able to understand the historical context.
