The Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company is proud to present ‘TIED,’ the one-man play brilliantly performed by Jason Carmichael, written by Crystal Rae, both recipients of awards and critical praise at the play’s premiere in Houston. 

Carmichael portrays Daniel, the father of one of the four young girls killed in the September 16, 1963, KKK bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Alabama.  The horrendous crime galvanized the Civil Rights movement and inspired the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964.   It’s not the bombing that playwright Rae focuses on, but its devastating personal aftermath as Daniel recalls his life before and after.  Suffering from shell shock, he tells us of his youth, his marriage, his children, his faith, his many ties to his ancestral home in Africa, and more.
