The St. Louis Black Repertory commemorated 45 years with an evening celebration supporting the arts at 560 Music Center in University City in mid-November. The gala, which supports The Black Rep’s various educational and community projects, featured a cocktail hour, an awards presentation and a performance by the Grammy Awardwinning Fisk Jubilee Singers from Nashville, Tennessee. Co-chairing the event were Hank Webber and Keith Williamson.
