WCLK Gives 'Ethel' Tickets To Residents Of Veranda At Scholars Landing [PHOTOS]

Jamal Ahmad, host, SOUL of Jazz, Jazz 91.9 WCLK recently surprised a group of senior citizens with tickets to the Alliance Theatre production of "Ethel."   The elderly group, who lives at The Veranda at Scholars Landing (located near Clark Atlanta University), were shocked when the radio personality came to their afternoon outing bearing gifts.

"Ethel"is a one-woman play about the life of stage and film star Ethel Waters. It takes audiences on a journey into her magnificent and very complicated life and stars Broadway actress, Terry Burrell. Waters inspired directors, singers and, songwriters with her talent and versatility; and, was the first to record “Stormy Weather.” She later starred in the classic film, "Cabin in the Sky" where the song was performed by Lena Horne.

"Ethel" has been extended through May 1, due to the show's overwhelming success. Click here to purchase your tickets.
