Buy Classic episodes of Amos n' Andy all in one set of 12 tapes or 18 DVDs from the Historic Theatre founded in 1950 by Original "Amos 'n' Andy" Castmember, Nick Stewart (Lightnin') and his wife Edna. These are better copies than you'll find elsewhere. All videos and DVDs are new in shrinkwrap!
Proceeds from the sale of these videos will help our non-profit Ebony Showcase Theatre and Cultural Arts Center, Inc., founded by Living Legend Edna Stewart and her husband Nick Stewart in 1950. Nick played Lightnin' the janitor on the Amos 'n' Andy TV show; and he is the voice of Disney's Brer Bear in the Song of the South full-length feature cartoon and on the Splash Mountain ride at Disneyland. 100% of the proceeds from videos sold on our website benefit the Ebony, and enable us to continue the humanitarian work and the dreams of Nick and Edna Stewart. In the early days, they created and supported the Ebony Showcase Theatre with money made from his acting career. Over the years, they presented and showcased the talent of many talented people who later became famous. Nick called the theatre "I"
One of the things to wonder when long staple rerun series are available on DVD (and now download). Sure you would watch it when it was what was on next, but if YOU chose the time to watch it AND you have to make an effort to select an individual episode, WILL you still watch each and every episode?
