Ray Cornelius with cast of 'King Hedley II'

This week’s edition of UPFRONT features the cast of Kenny Leon’s True Colors production of King Hedley II. The show is playing now through March 11 at the Southwest Arts Center. 

The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) recently held its annual aTVfest and UPFRONT was there to capture some of the sights and sounds of the weekend including exclusive interviews with the cast of The Chi and Black Lightning

I’ll also be playing some throwback sounds from Maxwell, Shirley Horn and Sara Devine throughout the show.
