Perfect Peace
·
The heartbreaking portrait of a large, rural southern family’s attempt to grapple with their mother’s desperate decision to make her newborn son into the daughter she will never have
When the seventh child of the Peace family, named Perfect, turns eight, her mother Emma Jean tells her bewildered daughter, “You was born a boy. I made you a girl. But that ain’t what you was supposed to be. So, from now on, you gon’ be a boy. It’ll be a little strange at first, but you’ll get used to it, and this’ll be over after while.”
From this point forward, his life becomes a bizarre kaleidoscope of events. Meanwhile, the Peace family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment.

Category: GeneralDescription
King: A Reflection on the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is a spoken word piece by playwright/librettist Sandra Seaton accompanied by spirituals performed a cappella by tenor George Shirley. King, a mixture of poetry and brief reflections, remembers Rev. King as an individual with human limitations who nevertheless answered the call to leadership. His life serves as a model for those, especially the young, who might feel that any imperfection disqualifies them from leadership. The work, divided into four sections, “Nobel-man,” “Chicago,” “Bottles and Rocks,” and "Memphis 1968,” takes us on the journey of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he struggled to bring civil rights to the United States.
