“I Am Jane” playing in Provo July 22-23

Katherine Morris — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 07:11:26 +0000

I Am Jane is Margaret Blair Young’s award-winning stage play about Jane Manning James, an early black LDS pioneer who survived the mobs at Nauvoo, the westward trek to the Salt Lake Valley and the societal prejudices of an unforgiving era with unyielding faith, courage, and tolerance. Historically accurate, the play explores the challenges Jane and other black Mormons faced within the LDS Church, especially during the settlement and establishment of what is now Utah.

For an extensive review by Mahonri Stewart, see A Motley Vision.
