American singer’s struggle to find her voice. From opera to jazz, gospel and
spoken word, Candace Y. Johnson candidly reflects on the 20+ years it took to free her voice. Accompanied by pianist Greg Jacobs, Johnson engages the audience with improvised moments throughout and an opportunity for playback theater at the end.
