    Hello,
    my name is Angela Jeffrey, I am a student at VCU and I am working on a story regarding the Hippodrome in Jackson Ward, went I came across this page I noticed that the Carver & Jackson Ward News could help me tell my story and could give me feedback or point me in the direction of people who could tell me what it was like when the theater was open. Does anyone know who I could talk to?

    Angela,

    You should contact Mr. Ronald Stallings at rastallings@walkerrow.com for more information. He is the owner of the Hippodrome.
