“Living Echoes”
Costumed, dramatic portrayals of women of faith. A few of my Biblical characters and their themes include Miriam (deliverance and faith), Mary Magdalen (the life of Christ), and Rahab of Jericho (salvation). Another characters is Mrs. Alice Porter, an Appalachian mountain woman from the 1930’s who comments on — well — just about everything. In each case, the dramatic portrayal closely follows the Bible and the life of faith. Click here to hear a recording of me as Mrs. Alice Porter.
