Event Details

The Ridgefield Library is pleased to welcome Kimberly Wilson, award-winning creator, actor and singer, to the Library on Sunday, March 5th at 2:00 pm. Ms. Wilson will perform  “A JOURNEY: Musical One-Woman Show,” which tells multiple stories about the Black experience, as told by a Black woman.

Through song, movement and dialogue, Ms. Wilson brings her characters and their triumphs and truths to life. Her deep, velvety speaking and singing voice embraces the audience and animates the stage. In this powerful performance, seven women whose lives span hundreds of years, tell their stories of faith, hope and a sense of calling that truly shaped American history. The women featured in this show, like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks and more, had the courage to make their dreams a reality that not only elevated their lives but also helped lay the foundation for future generations.

A JOURNEY: Musical One-Woman Show has been a touring production since 2012. In 2016, Ms. Wilson was awarded the Best Playwright Award at the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival for her play and performance of A JOURNEY.

This special program is co-hosted with The League of Women Voters of Ridgefield and presented in partnership with the Ridgefield Historical Society.
