God Doesn’t Mean You Get To Live Forever

Written by former Duke Ellington Orchestra trombonist Gregory Charles Royal, this high energy musical set in a quaint baptist church delves into the issue of the existence of everlasting life. Told through the story of pop diva Reese Noel who leads a gospel musician named Q.(Royal) astray, their journey is culminated by the musings of a colorful preacher named Pasa (Rev. H. Lionel Edmonds) and a little girl named Melanie (Zari Veres Royal) who will change their lives forever! The performance is preceded by a soul food dinner and features a wide variety of African American musical genres..
