When The Righteous Triumph – A Powerful Theatrical Event

Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. WC MacInnes Place, Tampa, FL 33602
Cost: $50
When The Righteous Triumph is returning to the stage after its sold-out 2023 premiere at Stageworks. It tells the story of the 1960 sit-ins that desegregated downtown Tampa lunch counters—almost exactly 65 years ago. Featuring historical figures like Reverend A. Leon Lowry of the NAACP—who was one of MLK’s teachers in Atlanta—along with Clarence Fort, who started the protests, and Tampa Mayor Julian Lane, this play shines a light on a critical chapter in Tampa’s fight for racial justice.
