OBEAH OPERA

SO! As mentioned in a previous post, I've recently been cast in my first professional musical theatre production! I'll be part of the chorus in Nicole Brooks' Obeah Opera, presented by b current and Theatre Archipelago.

I attended my first workshop/rehearsal this past weekend where Ms.Brooks (the play’s creator) introduced us to fellow cast & crew members, shared the story and inspiration behind Obeah Opera and even sang through the entire first act so we could hear the music we’ll eventually be performing ourselves. Oh, and they served split pea soup & hot apple cider during the break. All VEGAN! I am home, lol.

I’m so grateful to be a part of a show with such a generous theatre company, brilliant creators and a colourful, talented cast of women! This includes celebrated songstresses Joni NehRita & Saidah Baba Talibah in starring roles. I am a HUGE fan of both of these ladies… such an honour to be placed on stage with them and the other artists I have yet to meet but have already heard so much about.

So let’s go! The play opens at 918 Bathurst in February 2012, but EARLY BIRD TICKETS are already on sale! You can pick yours up or read up on the play itself by going here: http://www.obeahopera.com/ .

Much love, and hope to see you in those seats!
