Gospel in the Wake: a Poetic Stage Performance, Saturday, June 14, 2025

This powerful stage production unites Pittsburgh artists, musicians, and writers to bring Bonita Lee Penn’s vision to life. Rooted in Black Church traditions and ancestral memory, it also traces her personal journey to spiritual identity—exploring practices that survived the Middle Passage and still shape us today through the Ring Shout, call and response, and more.

“The tent a beacon of lights and sweat from
down the hill, pitched on a field of marmalade
dirt, that hallowed be thy name place. It all
feels so ancestral, like it came on a hurricane
through the middle passage, to catch you up,
to remind you where you came.”
–and in the Beginning

Join us for this one-night-only poetic stage experience at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, June 14, 2025, at the Carnegie Museum Art Theater, 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh 15213.

Self-pay parking is available at the Museum/Theater location.

Tickets are available online, at https://GITW2025.eventbrite.com. Doors open at 6:00 P.M.

Following the performance, stay for a community Q&A with the artists.

This production is made possible through the Advancing Black Arts in Pittsburgh Grant, a prestigious initiative by The Pittsburgh Foundation and The Heinz Endowments, supporting Black artists in creating transformative work.

I remember writing a column about the dangers of excessive sugar and salt. I was talking a good game but at the time I’m not sure I was following my own advice. Fast forward to 2025 and I decided I wanted to try and lose about 5 to 8 pounds. I happened to see a Facebook post from Yvette Royal of Anastasias Crown that spoke about weight loss.
