On October 15, I had the pleasure of performing a one woman show for Arcado Elementary in Lilburn, GA. What a treat!!!  Media Specialist, Dr. Melissa Underwood rolled out the red carpet for me.  The show was for 4th & 5th grade students, but the entire school was able to tune in on classroom internet tv and watch a live stream of the performance.  Talk about high tech!

Students met Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and newly freed slave, Mae Caldwell.  Content of show aligned with AKS Standards.  I look forward to more performances and collaboration with Gwinnett County Public Schools.

I am currently rehearsing for the world premiere musical, The First Noel.  Book, music, & lyrics by Lelund Durond Thompson and Jason Michael Webb.  Show runs Dec. 3-6 at Paul Robeson Theatre on the campus of North Carolina A&T University.

I absolutely love originating roles!!  There's something about being the very first actor to breathe life into a character.  Ethel Mae Brooks has become one of my favorites!  Although there was a staged reading of this piece last month in NY, The North Carolina production will be the first full production of the show.  I'm trusting that I'll be cast in future productions of this show as well.

Jason Michael Webb is currently the musical director for the Broadway revival of The Color Purple.  "One never knows...do one?"
