SUMMARY:The Spirit of Truth - March 9 - 2PM - NEW SHOW ADDED!
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Truth\nA Powerful Stage Play Illuminating the Untold Journey of Sojourner Truth\nSunday\, March 9 at 2PM – NEW SHOW ADDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND!\nPlease be advised\, this production is meant for mature audiences only. Suggested for audiences 18+. Includes mature language and themes of sex and violence.   \nStep into the untold story of an icon\, Sojourner Truth. Her name is etched in history as a suffragist\, abolitionist\, and fearless voice for justice. But before she became the legend we know today\, there was a woman finding her way in the shadows of oppression\, deception\, and transformation.  \nSet against the backdrop of the 1830s\, The Spirit of Truth reveals an extraordinary chapter of Sojourner Truth’s life—the years she spent in the village of Sing Sing\, now Ossining. At the heart of the drama lies her entanglement with Zion\, a radical religious cult led by the enigmatic and dangerous Prophet Matthias. Lies\, betrayal\, sex\, adultery\, and even murder swirl in the wake of her search for faith and identity.  \nThrough these trials\, she emerges—not unscathed\, but unbroken—on her path to becoming one of America’s most profound voices for freedom and equality.  \nWitness the rise of a hero shaped by chaos\, tragedy\, and faith. Be transported to a time of fervent rebellion\, where Sojourner Truth discovers the power of her voice\, her mission\, and her unshakable spirit.  \nBecause history isn’t just what we know. It’s the truths we uncover.  \nWritten by acclaimed playwright Samuel Harps. Commissioned by Bethany Arts Community and meticulously researched by historian Joyce Sharrock Cole. Directed by Mel Hancock. Executive Produced by Joyce Sharrock Cole and Bethany Arts Community. Production Assistant is Donna James.  \nStarring Ayanna Roberts as Isabella Van Wagenen (Sojourner Truth)\, Mario Andres as Prophet Matthias\, Jason Summers as Elijah Pierson\, Howard Weintraub as Benjamin Folger\, Joanna Stone as Ann Folger\, Catherine Banks as Catherine Galloway\, Michael Chabler as Gilbert Vale\, Daniel Hirsh as William Nelson\, Rick Levi as Judge Charles Ruggles\, Marisa Lowe as Isabella Laisdell\, Bruce Pearl as Henry Western\, and Katrina Holmes as Katy.  \nPERFORMANCE DATES\nFriday\, February 28 at 7PM \nSaturday\, March 1 at 7PM \nSunday\, March 2 at 7PM\nFriday\, March 7 at 7PM \nSaturday\, March 8 at 7PM \nSunday\, March 9 at 2PM – NEW SHOW ADDED! – You’re on this page now!\nSunday\, March 9 at 7PM \nLOCATION\nBethany Arts Community\n40 Somerstown Road\, Ossining\, NY 10562  \nTICKETS\n$30 General Admission / $25 Student/Senior \nLooking for group rates?
