FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Soul Shaping Productions Accepting Bookings for “Faithwalker”
- 2012 through 2013!
Faithwalker: The
Life and Times of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, performed by veteran actress Teirrah
McNair, is now available for booking.
Producers at Soul Shaping Productions, who
made today’s announcement, said the
30-minute
live drama challenges audiences, young and old to achieve their dreams, as it
seeks to relive the life and times of Dr. Bethune, a mover and shaker during
the Roosevelt era and the founder of Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach,
Florida.
“Her
unforgettable story of faith under fire is a must see for schools, churches,
and special life affirming events,” said
Chief Encouragement Officer, Teirrah McNair.
McNair
added that Faithwalker is available year round and is especially suitable for
African-American History and Women’s History Month events, Juneteenth
celebrations, corporate and civic events as well as family reunions. There is also available a study guide and
post-performance discussion suitable for schools and youth groups.
In the past, Faithwalker was featured in a
chaplain’s tour of Munich, Germany as well as a school tour through the Alaska
Arts Council, and is today available for booking from 2012 through to 2013 to
schools, churches, social and civic clubs, especially sororities and affiliate
groups of the National Council of Negro Women (Bethune was a founder), social
studies and history departments, boys and girls clubs, corporate black employee
associations, and college student councils.
With the country in such a depressed state
and companies and organizations looking for ways to inspire their employee,
McNair noted that Faithwalker, which deftly brings history to life, is a
production that readily inspires all who see it.
According to McNair, Faithwalker addresses
the subject of overcoming obstacles and/or using obstacles as stepping stones
for success. “Unlike other shows brought in for corporate and civic
presentations, Faithwalker is an easily mountable production that can be done
in an auditorium with lighting effects or in intimate settings with very few
props,” she said.
“When I was touring Alaska, I remember
they booked me for a show in Juvenile Hall and my last performance that day was
for seven of the supposedly “most dangerous” juvenile offenders in the state.
It was an incredible afternoon and there was not a dry eye in the room,” she
added.
