Southland Casino Racing presented a big check to the Hattiloo Theatre in Memphis on Tuesday.

The Hattiloo Theatre is the only freestanding Black repertory theatre in five surrounding states and offers free programming and performances staged throughout the Mid-South.

“We support the Hattiloo Theatre’s vision to develop a modern performing-arts venue that is accessible to, relevant to, and reflective of a multicultural community,” said David Wolf, general manager and president of Southland Casino Racing. “And to take it a step further – it’s wonderful to know that we are a part of something even larger, as patrons of other gaming venues within our company’s U.S. portfolio are helping those in need within their respective communities.”
