Pheralyn’s performance piece, entitled Sacred Soul Sister: A Tribute to Trudy Pitts, will preserve Trudy Pitts’ musical legacy as a pianist, singer, composer, arranger, conductor, and educator. Through narration, acting, and spoken-word sequences, the project seeks to bring Trudy out of obscurity and viscerally inspire viewers to take positive actions for living out their own dreams. Whether performed locally, nationally, or internationally, each performance will be followed by a talk back segment, which will foster dialogue and motivate positive self-reflection within audience members.
