The show was fantabulous. BBSVT, Fam, Zuhairah's performance is so intense. With every fiber of her being, every moment, she literally inhabits the spirit of Sojourner Truth. Penny's direction is supberb as well. Some wonderful new choices this time around. Must say, lighting and sound are superb as well. Show runs thru Feb 6, 2011 --A Must See.
