Can someone be owned? Can a song free you? What's the cost of freedom? These are the gutsy questions Amanda Kemp takes on through her soulful dramas that will leave you tapping your feet and wiping your eyes. See for yourself at Theatre for Transformation's "Sister Friend:  Phillis Wheatley and Obour Tanner on Freedom, Love and the Divine" written by Dr. Amanda Kemp and directed by Dave Ebersole. "Sister Friend", a play infused with spirituals and gospel music, uses actual letters to imagine the friendship between enslaved  celebrity poet Phillis Wheatly and her best friend Obour Tanner. Come get informed and get inspired! Doors open at 7pm. Performance begins at 7:30pm. Seating is limited.
