In the darkness of the theater, a soothing voice was heard saying "what if I told you: we're going to be all right." I exhaled deeply, as if I'd been holding my breath for the last two weeks. Because in my 43 years on this planet, there's never been a time when I've been less sure that "we're going to be all right." Jomama Jones in Black Light: A Soulful Embrace of Life and Love was exactly the balm I needed at this moment in time. Telling stories, singing, and performing, she made me laugh, she brought tears to my eyes, she made me believe, at least for a little while, that there is a light at the end of this tunnel we've found ourselves in (or perhaps, put ourselves in). This Black Light is shining through at St. Paul's Penumbra Theatre for a short time only, so don't miss your chance to experience what truly is "a soulful embrace of life and love."
