After the presentation I had a conversation with Mr. Charles Fuller Jr., about his work and his process because I was very familiar with "A Soldier's Story". As we continued to converse he mentioned to me that he always opened his theatrical productions in NYC...I asked him, "Have you ever considered Philadelphia?" I knew that there were so many talented artist that I have met and worked with who like me are looking for a great story to tell, especially of the Black experience. At that moment with him I knew I wanted a chance to audition for him, but I didn't know how to make that happen. However, God knew. To make a long story short, a year later, I auditioned and landed the leading role as Rachel Tate in Charles Fuller's Obie Award Winning Play, "Zooman and the Sign". It is the first official production presented by 215 Theater Company, founded by Mr. Brian King, and the director is Ms. Georgina Bard. I'm thankful to be a part of a professional and talented cast. #Imovertheroof #Godisawesome
