2011 WONDERPALOOZA PERFORMERS:
Richard Pitts
Listening to his parents share stories and history of African Americans became the inspiration and source of Richard's interest in his craft. His performance is an exercise involving storytelling, history, and drumming.
Richard will lead the audience in a drum circle by providing drums and teaching you how to play. Once a few beats are learned the drum circle plays along while Richard shares a tale! For more information, visit www.wonderworkshop.org.
