The Sound of Gospel© at Pabst Theater Sunday, Feb. 23
The Sound of Gospel©, a theatrical production presented by 2nd Chance Outreach, takes the audience on an expansive historical musical journey featuring praise and worship (devotions and hymns), work and freedom songs, ring shouts, Negro spirituals, choirs and quartets, up to today’s contemporary and urban gospel. Elements of drama and joy resonate throughout the show. 2nd Chance Outreach is a nonprofit dedicated to “Using Art to Transform” individuals and communities.
The theatrical production celebrates and honors Black History Month. The show is produced by playwright, producer, and director William Pierce of 2nd Chance Outreach; it’s directed by Academy Award-nominated actress, playwright and vocalist Jevetta Steele; with musical direction by the Grammy Award-winning Billy Steele – both of the renowned family The Steeles.
“The Sound of Gospel© highlights gospel music’s rich history and how it has been an integral part of the African American experience. This year’s production features the music from more recent eras and their impact on the gospel genre including Aretha Franklin, the Clark Sisters, and Dr. Bobby Jones. Guests will enjoy another addition to the show – praise and worship music,” said Rev. William Pierce, the creator, writer and producer.
