First World Theatre presents a benefit performance of "SOJOURNER" with all proceeds to go to two of West Philadelphia's oldest and most important arts and cultural institutions, the CEC (Community Education Center) and Paul Robeson House. The moving and inspirational story of freedom fighter and shero, Sojourner Truth was written by Richard LaMonte Pierce and stars Zuhairah McGill. Ms. McGill received a Barrymore Nomination for Best Actor for the work. One performance only Saturday, April 23, 7pm show with reception to follow. The performance will take place at The Rotunda located 4014 Walnut (beside the Bridge movie theatre).

"Ms. McGill's performance is as inspirational as the story she weaves...expertly maneuvers between the older and younger Sojourner... She takes the audience on a journey with her character... This is a show that makes you think about what's important." --Christina Perryman, Delco News.
