The six African-American women of Sweet Honey in the Rock have inspired audiences for nearly 35 years with their incomparable voices and righteous call for a more just and humane world.
Combining lyrics, movement and narrative, they celebrate the sacred music of African-American churches --spirituals, hymns and gospels -- as well as jazz, reggae, doo-wop and blues. It will be an experience like no other as Sweet Honey challenges injustice, encourages activism and honors love. Sweet Honey's messages will be simultaneously interpreted in uniquely expressive American Sign Language. This is a family friendly show.
