#MeToo, Her Voice Must Be Heard


The Fringe is back in session tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. GO. And it's okay to tip the photographer.

This show is multiple art form meditation upon the many abuses women have suffered, only recently brought into the open. There were some very powerful voices and personalities. As the producers describe it:

The 2018 #VoicesUnleashedSTL Featured Show* #MeToo, Her Voice must be Heard is a project that highlights the stories of sexual abuse/assault/harassment survivors through poetry, monologues, dance, music and more. In the wake of recent stories coming to light in Hollywood and other industries, we wanted to give local women in the community, who are our sisters, girlfriends, co-workers, etc., the opportunity to have her voice heard in the community that otherwise may not get heard in Hollywood, on TV or any other famous arena.
 There is one more chance to catch this, Saturday night at 9:30.

Her Voice Must Be Heard


Posted from AA 4416 heading to La Guardia. Busy.   

A more detailed look at one of the Theatre Crawl shows, Her Voice Must Be Heard. A black #MeToo perspective about being a woman of color and the object of sexual abuse. The cast was brilliant. I'll add more detail about the company when we're at the hotel. 

Okay, now we're at our favorite hotel, the LIC. It's in Queens, my home turf, one subway stop from midtown and we will not pay Manhattan hotel prices. However, it's even hotter here than it St. Louis. We think we'll hang out until dinner.

So anyway, this is a sample of a show that will appear in the St. Louis Fringe Festival (yours truly, house photographer), the title the same as the caption of this post. The cast, Sieglinda Fox (in blue), Sharon Reed-Ussery (in white) and Joel Anthony were brilliant. The women have stage presence and vocal power that's hard to describe. Looking forward to seeing the full show in August.
