Johnnie Hobbs and Patricia Scott Hobbs talk about their experiences at the North Philadelphia institution which both served and shaped the city's African American community.
An interview with actor Johnnie Hobbs and choreographer Patricia Scott Hobbs about the Freedom Theatre in North Philadelphia.
In an archival recording, the Philadelphia composer and teacher Charles Gilbert talks to his longtime friends about their experiences at the Freedom, including working with founder John E. Allen and his successor Walter Dallas.
Though this is not a comprehensive narrative, we are pleased to begin sharing the story of this important cultural institution, which changed so many people's lives in the Philadelphia African American community.
On Sunday, June 29th, from 10 to 11 AM, the author and podcaster Peter Schmitz will be appearing at the Brookline Books stall at the 2025 American Library Association annual conference and exhibition at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
