Cabaret Series: To the Moon(s) and Back
STARRING: ANNELIESE, CLARISSA, AND ELINA MOON.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6 | 7 PM
The Jackson 5… The Jonas Brothers… The Andrews Sisters… The Carpenters… Haim… are all family bands that are more famous than the Moon sisters.
Anneliese, Elina, and Clarissa Moon are actually sisters (we promise). While they may not look biologically related, their voices blend in that magical way only siblings’ can. All three of them grew up doing theatre together in Orlando, and have since branched out to forge their own paths in professional careers as actors, comedic improvisers, singers, and musicians.
The Moons have performed professionally in theme parks, regional theaters, and cruise ships all over the world. (Okay... only Elina has performed outside of the U.S., but Anneliese and Clarissa are happy to share the credit). Now, the sister trio will share the stage for the first time in more than five years (beyond portraying magical British schoolchildren) to showcase their various talents and tell stories about growing up in a family of performers! The Moons invite you to an evening of Broadway show tunes, stunning sister harmonies, violin playing, and laughter.
The Fannie Lou Hamer Story (SOLD OUT)
A One-Women Play
Written and Performed by Mzuri Moyo Aimbaye
Directed by Byron C Saunders
THE MOTHER OF VOTER REGISTRATION
FROM MISSISSIPPI TO THE MOVEMENT
The Fannie Lou Hamer Story chronicles the life of Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer through poetically styled storytelling. The play opens with Fannie Lou descending the stairs of heaven. Though fully prepared to abandon her earthly body, heaven’s angels plead with her to return to earth to address the senseless police killings of so many young, unarmed Black men and women. Upon her return, she appears at a political rally. Instead of hearing from a presidential candidate, Fannie Lou Hamer takes the stage and stuns the crowd with a show-stopping arrangement of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. As she sings, she calls out the names of those who have been killed by the police.
Through the compelling integration of storytelling, nostalgic songs and graphic video montage, the artist, Mzuri Moyo Aimbaye, channels the heart, soul and passion of Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer and takes the audience on a riveting journey that embues accountability and inspires civic participation.
