Program Description
In March of 2024, the Seattle Community hosted a glorious production of this musical on the life of Sr. Thea Bowman, sponsored by St. Joseph Church and performed in the St. Patrick Church Sanctuary. With choir members & actors from across the Seattle community, as well as core members from LA’s Visionary Voices, the production played for two sold-out nights. During Black Catholic History month, we are thrilled to once again lift up the story of Sr. Thea Bowman.
Evening hosted by playwright, ValLimar Jansen & producer, Betsey Beckman. Please contact Betsey at BBeckdance@gmail.com with questions.
The event will be recorded and made available for those who aren’t able to attend live.
