Thea's Turn

Full-Length Musical | "Unique! Rousing!" -The Clarion Ledger | The incredible true story of civil rights activist Sister Thea Bowman is brought to life on stage in this energetic and soulful new play. We follow Thea and her childhood self on an inspiring journey from her upbringing in Mississippi through her tireless campaign to promote diversity in the Catholic Church. Throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s, Thea's voice transcended racial and cultural barriers, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to burn bright. Buoyed by the music that inspired her message, including "Kum Bah Yah" and "We Shall Overcome," Thea's Turn reminds us all that no matter our race or religion, each of us has a unique gift to offer the world.
