ESU Hosts Fourth Annual Patricia Graham Step Show, March 19

East Stroudsburg University will be hosting the fourth annual Patricia Graham, Step Show, where sororities and fraternities compete against each other for a first place cash prize of $500, on Saturday March 19 at 7 p.m. at the Smith McFarland Theatre in the Fine Arts Building.

Each group will be performing a stepping routine— marching in a rhythmic and staled beat in unison. The event will showcase the talent and history of stepping in the African American Culture.

The step show began in 2012 and was named after Patricia Graham, Ph.D., professor emeritus of intercultural and interdisciplinary studies, to honor her for her invaluable work in influencing African American students on campus.

“The step show provides a sense of unity for the university and the community and increases cultural knowledge for all those who come out and support the students,” Cornelia Sewell, director of multicultural affairs, said. “It also honors everything that Dr. Graham has done and continues to do for the university.”

The show will also feature ESU’s Xplosion step team in addition to from Millersville University and teams representing middle and high school from the region.

This event is open to the public. Admissions for the event is $10. Tickets will be sold at the door.
