From Birmingham to Broadway is a tour-de-force tribute to Broadway singer and TV actress Nell Carter. Written by and starring powerhouse performer Tarra Conner jones, the play combines music, comedy and drama as Tarra embodies the never-give-up spirit of this shining star of stage and screen. Float Like a Butterfly stars WBTT newcomer Darius Autry as the greatest-of-all-time boxer Muhammad Ali in this homage to a man who took a stand against the Vietnam war and injustice in America. Ali was much more than a boxer, he showed the world he could “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” — far beyond the boxing ring. The playwright is Nate's brother, Michael Jacobs.
