The film, directed by Heather Lyn MacDonald, tells the story of the Silver Belles, a troupe of women tap dancers, ages eighty-four to ninety-six. The women met in the 1930's as chorus dancers at the Apollo and the Cotton Club. When the Big Band era ended, the women went into other work. They regrouped in 1985 and are still performing regularly. Admission for the film is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for students and $1.00 for ages three and under. Bag-It: Works By Lori Crawford Bag-It: Works By Lori Crawford" is based on the "Brown Paper Bag Test," which dealt with the complexion of one's skin and whether it was lighter or darker than a brown paper bag. The works in the exhibition speak of the biases faced by each of the artist's subjects. The works offer a strong commentary on issues of prejudice faced every day in our modern society.
