“Amplify’ is happening because the Arvada Center recognizes that they are one of the larger performing arts organizations in the region, and they want to use their platform to amplify Black voices during this time. The country is concerned about social justice right now, in large part because the murder of George Floyd has caused people to question the way things are and have been.”
- "Amplify" producer Betty Hart
