Whitney Walker
singer & songwriter. A friend has written,
"When it comes to worthwhile things that
came out of Michigan, the list doesn't end
with cars & chemicals. Whitney Walker, a
native of Grosse Ile, Michigan can be added
to that list. She is known to her friends
for her commitment to her Savior Jesus
Christ, her desire to see lives changed by
the Gospel, her northern sense of humor, and
her musical ability. Her music is a
relaxing, but energetic acoustic sound
influenced by the likes of John Mayer, Shane
& Shane, and Gavin DeGraw. Often her lyrics
come out of the deeper things of life like
her relationship with Christ and her
relationship with people around her. To put
it in Michigander terms, she is a pretty
top-notch person with an extraordinary gift
in music and expressing herself in lyrics."

 Fences

November 1 & 2, 2008; 8 pm, 3 pm
Sunday; Fences by August
Wilson; AFA Joy and Lynch
Christian Warehouse Theatre at
Commerce & 5th Street.
 August
Wilson's sensational play
Fences has won every major
award, including Drama Desk,
Outer Critics Circle, New York
Drama Critics, Tony and Pulitzer
Prizes. Directed by Jennifer
Petticolas and performed by the
Black Theatre Ensemble,
Fences centers around Troy
Maxson, a former star of the
Negro baseball leagues who is
working as a garbage man in
1957. He is very bitter that he
was excluded from major league
baseball during his prime and
was too old to play when the
sport finally was integrated.
Maxson's son wants a chance at
professional sports, but Maxson
refuses to let him try his luck. |

 One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Directed by Brooke
Farmer
October 31
November 1, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15
Produced by permission of Samuel French, Inc.
Randle P. McMurphy is a charming rogue who
contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution
rather in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with
the head nurse, a fierce martinet. Quickly, he takes over the yard
and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do:
he leads others in the ward out of introversion. In doing so he
becomes a sort of leader, and the conflicts with the staff increase
toward an inevitable end. Winner of the 2001 Outer Critics Circle
Award for Outstanding Revival. |

Splendora
book by Peter Webb, music by
Stephen Hoffman, lyrics by Mark
Campbell.
[Thursday through
Monday]
All performances
at 7:30 p.m. except Sunday
matinee at 2:00 p.m.
 Winner
of the 1995 Richard Rodgers
Production Award from the
American Academy of Arts and
Letters
Based on the 1978
cult novel of the same name by
Edward Swift, the story takes
place in Splendora -- a small
town in East Texas. People
there still talk about Timothy
John Coldridge, the young man
who ran away from the town
fifteen years ago, never to be
heard from again. They also
talk about Splendora's new
arrival, Miss Jessica Gatewood,
a lady of Victorian dress and
speech, hired to run the county
bookmobile and taking up
residence in the house of
Timothy John's deceased
grandmother, Esther Ruth.
Within weeks, Jessica captivates
the town; her style is emulated
by the Splendora Ladies Study
Group and she is lauded for her
municipal restoration efforts.
Only one person, Sue Ella
Lightfoot, suspects "there's
something mighty slippery
beneath those frills and
flippery," and makes a startling
discovery: that Jessica and
Timothy John are one and the
same person. but, for how
long? As Timothy John begins to
fall in love with Brother
Leggett, Splendora's assistant
pastor, it's clear that he must
reconcile himself with his
hurtful past so that he can
finally leave Jessica. And
Splendora.
