BLACK WOMEN WALKING Goes To Atlanta

Imagine the souls of black folks coming alive on a minimalist stage through the voices and words of black women in America! Storytelling rituals, gospel music, multimedia, humor, and dance bring to life the stories of courageous black heroines who changed the course of American history. “BLACK WOMEN WALKING”  brings together an ensemble of lived experiences and perspectives that elicit from audiences laughter, crying and shouting as it reveals of Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Marian Anderson, Wilma Rudolph, Bessie Coleman, Willie Mae Ford Smith, Fannie Lou Hamer and others. Celebrating their "10th Season", this one-act play is packed with emotional power, cultural rituals, and shows any audience that the power of black women can only fully be realized and acknowledged in the present by looking back and embracing and celebrating the past. 

As a result of our successful tour to the Women’s Theatre Festival of Memphis in 2016, we are headed back on the road! "BLACK WOMEN WALKING" has been invited to perform on the main stage at the 2018 Atlanta Black Theatre Festival which will be held October 3-6 at the Porter Sanford III Performing Arts Center in Decatur, GA.   (https://atlantabtf.org/)

Through other outreach efforts we have successfully raised funds necessary to travel our stage production. As a group we have worked to bring travel expenses to the lowest common denominator and we are still short of our goal.

Your donation will benefit travel expenses to the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival.

Please help us reach a larger audience, a diverse audience, as this play has much to say and much to share about the sometimes quite lives of those who walked the walk and talked the talk.  Theirs is a story that needs to be told.

Thank you so much for your consideration,
