DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

In an award-winning story of triumph tinged with bits of heartache, a scrappy girl-child navigates a changing world and finds the courage to live life on her own terms.  Actress, soprano, and storyteller Tara Lake takes audiences on a journey into the world of African-American Jersey girlhood in the 1980s-1990s – a world steeped in family Sundays, church conventions, and extravagant reunions, weddings, and funerals. In this unforgettable sojourn embracing southern roots, gospel rhythms, and queer identity, one family’s love conquers all.  Having garnered acclaim in London, New York, Chicago and beyond, this unforgettable production of soul-rich theatre, storytelling, song, and poetry makes its FringePVD debut!
