Do Sinners Have A Soul? A Spoken Word Stage Play, Nov 14, 2009
Written, directed and produced by Theresa "Outspoken" Mayo and co-directed by Tiffany Wade, “DO SINNERS HAVE A SOUL: A Spoken Word Stage Play” is not a Gospel Play! It is a gritty, melodic depiction of the soul of a neighborhood and the people who reside within it. This multi-media production uses spoken word poetry, popular music, dance and eye-opening imagery to provide insight into everyday reality for many…selfishness, brutality, abandonment and finally transformation and deliverance.
There is no glitter, glam or gloss here. Leroy only cares about his paper. Ulene only cares about herself. Leisha only cares about getting high and nobody cares about Lil D or Corey. The storyteller will take you to a place where souls cry until they are silent, where souls are sold before they can form or grow, a place so defiled, one wonders would God even acknowledge sinners of this degree.
“DO SINNERS HAVE A SOUL?” stresses individual struggles, chronicles a community’s demise and shares a thug’s plea for redemption. This is not a Gospel Play, but this story reminds us that we do not humble ourselves before God because we are saints but because we are sinners.
The storyteller asks the question, "Do Sinners Have A Soul?" Join us on November 14, 2009 to find out who amongst us can judge.
