Sojourner Truth, A Legacy, written by and starring Sandra Jones, is sure to serve as a

reminder to all of the power of faith, purpose and integrity as we continue the journey toward equality, freedom and justice to all mankind.

She presents a mesmerizing performance that transports and transforms the entire audience. As Mother Truth, she shows us that we have more power in our hands than we sometimes remember. Mother Truth reminds us of the power that’s greater than any man that “pervades the universe!” She reminds us “There is no place where God is not!” Her story is a true inspiration. Jones’ career has included film, television, theater, directing, and the greatest experience of co-starring with Dr. Maya Angelou in Langston Hughes’ “Tambourines To Glory”.

Box

Featuring Dennis Elkins

Listiak Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.

Admission $15

Dennis Elkins’ box. is told through enticing striptease of revelations. This poignant and

funny solo performance is a complex and deeply felt examination of life’s unplanned turns, deliberate shifts, blind alleys, devastating losses and late discoveries. Box demands ransoming the debris from boxes tucked away in the closet and gives voice to the process of unpacking our lives. While balancing a dark core of loss and grief, exuberant humor brightens this story of holding on and letting go… or not. Box is an autobiographical journey of cleaning house after parents/children die and we, those of us who are left, must choose what to keep and what to shred. The easy solution is to dump the stuff in a box and deal with it later—but, when “later” comes, we still agonize with the left-overs in a comical way. A native of Elkhart, Kansas, Elkins spent several years in the academic theatre arena all over the United States.

He has performed this production at the Edinburgh Scotland Fringe Festival.

Tickets are available at the door or online at southhaventheatreseries.org . All shows start at 7:30 and are presented in Listiak Auditorium at South Haven High School, 600 Elkenburg Street.
