Spiritual Uprising is a virtual concert event from the showstopping Zonya Love (Lights Out: Nat "King" Cole, Broadway’s The Color Purple) and is streaming as part of Philly Theatre Week. Before rehearsals began, Resident Dramaturg & EDI Coordinator Gina Pisasale sat down for an in-depth Zoom discussion with creator Zonya Love, members of the creative team, and local experts to get the full Scoop on Spiritual Uprising. Watch the video for a fascinating deep-dive into the global and enduring impact of Negro Spirituals, the particular connection between these songs and our region, unsung heroes of Black American music, and much more.
