"A JOURNEY" Musical One-Woman Show by Kimberly Wilson
2025-03-05 18:00 - 20:00 | Ives Concert Hall, 181 White St., Danbury, CT
“A JOURNEY” MUSICAL ONE-WOMAN SHOW BY KIMBERLY WILSON: “A JOURNEY” Musical One-Woman Show brings to life seven historical women, seven pivotal generations, who present to you their stories through song, movement, and dialogue and how ultimately their faith, hope and calling help shape the America we know today.
Joyful celebrations and painful reflections are rendered artistically to tell a story of persistence and courage and how womanhood, not always intricately woven into the tapestry of American history, is the thread that holds together the fabric of American life. Included in this journey are reflections from an African Queen, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and more.
After the performance, we invite the audience to remain for a talk-back which extends the wealth of this theatrical experience. People are welcome opportunities to share their feedback and share their stories, too.
As we celebrate these historical women’s stories and their journeys, let us also celebrate our own journeys. We must tell our stories and be avid, respectful listeners to the stories of others. We must live, love and treasure each other, for this is OUR JOURNEY.
“A JOURNEY” Musical One-Woman Show, is from 6 to 8 p.m. in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the Midtown campus
