EMERGE: (The Play) 7 Women 7 Stools

Sat. Mar 3 @7:30 PM 

Fox Theater 1001 W Sprague Ave Spokane WA

Sponsored by Spokane Community Gospel Choir

Emerge, a play that takes you on a journey through the lives of seven very different women: a grandmother, a college student, an abused woman, a cancer survivor, an overworked housewife, a hustler, and a mistress. These women relive past struggles, feelings and pains, and transform from the pains of life to the pinnacle of success in an effort to Emerge.
