  'Every one of us will be here for a different particular reason. I am here because I am passionate about history.'
  It is 2019, the Year of Return, marking four hundred years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in America. We are at a slave castle in Ghana. Samuel is our tour guide. It's his job to give tourists a really, really authentic experience of the castle's dark history, and to do it all with a smile. Thank you, Samuel!
  The tourists are Samuel's guests, and they're on a journey of self-discovery. But they're here, standing on soil, blood and bones, asking for a selfie. They want to buy trinkets from the gift shop. Samuel would never want to hurt the tourists. And they would never want to hurt him.
  Rhianna Ilube's Samuel Takes a Break… in Male Dungeon No. 5 After a Long but Generally Successful Day of Tours is a genre-blending play about colonialism, identity and the attempt to preserve the past. It was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting and the Verity Bargate Award, and was a finalist for the 2024 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It premiered at The Yard Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike.

  This critically-acclaimed "tour-de-force one-man performance" (Falls Church News-Press Entertainment Writer) brings new life to one of Edgar Allan Poe's little known, but significant, stories.  In 1833, as part of a short story writing contest, Poe crafted "MS Found in a Bottle."  This story topped over 100 other entries and earned the 1st place prize of $50 and publication in the Saturday Visiter Newspaper.  This story inspired later writers like Herman Melville and Jules Verne, and, while not his most popular work, it launched his career as a writer.   
  In this production, listeners will be engrossed in the story through classic narration encompassing multiple characters, incredible sound effects to bring you into the ghost ship amongst the zombie-like crew, into the hurricanes and the doldrums, and in the cold winds of Antarctica.

  Not By Sight - True Stories From...

  Debby Green

  Many times in life we cannot see what is in our future, or what is coming down the road. In those moments, we have to walk by faith, not by sight. Being blind, Debby has had many of those experiences, as a parent, counselor, grandparent and someone who simply loves life. Her faith in a God who loves us shifts that frightening scenario into one of confidence and peace. In this book, through stories and poetry, she describes some of those moments where she has walked by faith, not by sight, both spiritually and literally. Chapter 1 is about a water slide. "In reflecting on that experience, I at first thought that I perhaps should have asked more questions. Perhaps I should have known that it was three stories up with lots of curves and bumps. But maybe not. If I had known all that, I might would have opted out. And just think of all the fun I would have missed." Debby (Zook) Green was born in Central Pennsylvania into a Mennonite pastor's family, one of five children. With normal sight at birth, she gradually lost her vision and by the age of 20, had only light perception. That did not stop her from completing college and having a career in counseling, first as a rehabilitation counselor with the state of Kentucky and then as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. She was married and has a daughter and two grandsons. Stories about those early years of sight loss can be found in a previously published book, Debby. Currently, she resides in Elizabethtown, Kentucky where she is active in her church, Calvary Assembly of God. She provides counseling services through her private practice, Transformation Christian Counseling and makes frequent trips to Tennessee to hang out with her grandsons.
