Luther Seminary, as part of the Minnesota Consortium of Theological Schools, will co-sponsor a performance by Jearlyn Steele. The performance will be held on March 15, at United Theological Seminary’s Bigelow Chapel. The performance will highlight themes from August Wilson’s play, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” which showed at the Guthrie Theater from Feb. 10-March 6. Jearlyn is the sister of Javetta Steele, who plays the title character in the play.
This concert is offered in conjunction with the interfaith panel discussions of “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” which were held in February. Both events were sponsored by the Consortium, which is made up of Luther, United, Bethel Seminary and Saint John’s School of Theology.
Prior to Jearlyn Steele’s performance, a gallery talk and reception for “New Orleans: After the Storm,” featuring works by Melvin R. and Rose J. Smith, will be held in the Bigelow Chapel gallery.
The fee for the concert is $10. Attendees are also asked to bring a nonperishable food item for Second Harvest Heartland.
