Posted By: Reginald Claremont on January 03, 2017 WHEN: Jan. 18, at 6 p.m. -- with a matinee at 10 a.m. WHERE: The Historic Davis Theatre in Downtown Montgomery. The Citywide-Montgomery 2017 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Celebration is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, January 18, at the Historic Davis Theatre in downtown Montgomery. A matinee of the event occurs that morning at 10 a.m. This will be the third annual celebration sponsored by both Alabama State University and Troy University-Montgomery at the incredible and historic venue of the Davis Theater, which highlights Dr. King’s "Beloved Community." The masters of ceremony of the event are WSFA TV 12's Tonya Terry (host of TV 12's Alabama Live Show) and Alabama State University's Kenneth Mullinax (ASU's director of Media Relations & Public Information). The event's executive director and producer is ASU's dean of its College of Visual and Performing Arts (and acclaimed star of Hollywood television and cinema), Dr. Tommie 'Tonea' Stewart. The theme of the event is “A Message to the Future from the Keepers of the Dream,” which reflects the programs' desire to move forward as we continue to bond as a community. This celebration is a joint effort of the Friends of the ASU Theatre, Troy University-Montgomery and The Alabama State University. The MLK Celebration event contact is Lois Jackson (executive assistant to Dean Tommie 'Tonea' Stewart).
