Around the Wood Stove show

Summary: <a href="http://www.woodstovehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/TfT-postcard.jpg"></a>Dr. Amanda Kemp is the founder and artistic director of <a href="http://theatrefortransformation.org/index.html" target="_blank">Theatre for Transformation</a> a touring theatre company from Lancaster, PA that focuses on Black History and provides opportunities for both members of the company AND the audience to open their hearts and minds and experience new perspectives through stories that haven’t necessarily been told. To recognize the 150th anniversary of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation" target="_blank">Emancipation Proclamation</a>, the company launched a new show in January called Emancipation Sweet. The first drafts of this show were performed at several locations locally including the <a href="http://www.ywcalancaster.org" target="_blank">Lancaster YWCA</a> on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Another performance will be held this upcoming Wednesday, February 6 at <a href="http://www.neumann.edu/about/news/news12-13/EmancipationSweet.asp" target="_blank">Neuman University in Aston, PA</a>.
