About this listen
The source material, an article from WFXG News, celebrates the Augusta Mini Theatre's 50th anniversary of providing performance arts education in the Central Savannah River Area. It details the organization's origin, which began with Founder Tyrone J. Butler's vision in 1975 to bring arts access to youth from a segregated background. The narrative highlights the theater's humble beginnings with limited resources and the founder's struggle for financial and community support, which almost led him to quit until a friend encouraged him to continue the "gift" he gave to Augusta. The article concludes by mentioning the upcoming grand opening of a new instructional and performance center in November and Butler's hope to serve the community for many more years.
