FORTITUDE — SUCH A STRONG WORD!
EACH PIECE IN THE SHOW IS A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSION OF THE MANY EXEMPLIFICATIONS OF FORTITUDE AS ONE NAVIGATES THROUGH LIFE’S CURVE BALLS — INNER STRENGTH, RESILIENCE, PERSISTENCE, AND POSITIVITY. SOCIETAL CHALLENGES AND PRESSURES OFTEN RESULT IN EXTREME COURAGE TO OVERCOME AND CONQUER OBSTACLES SET IN FRONT OF US ALLOWING US TO RISE ABOVE TO NEW HEIGHTS!
IN THE WORDS OF SOME OF THE ARTISTS WHO BEST CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE SHOW:
“WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR HEADS HELD HIGH AND PUSH BEYOND THE STORMS.”
— TROY JONES
“YOU STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF YOUR ANCESTORS. A PROUD PEOPLE. YOU MAY BEND, BUT YOU WON’T BREAK.”
— ALONZO ADAMS
“IT IS THROUGH EMBRACING HARDSHIPS WITH COURAGE AND DETERMINATION THAT ONE CAN UNCOVER HIDDEN STRENGTHS, OVERCOME LIMITATIONS, AND EMBARK ON A PATH OF PROFOUND PERSONAL EVOLUTION.”
— O’NEIL SCOTT
WE SINCERELY HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW AS MUCH AS WE DO!
