The Angel of the Amazon Tour Fund
Following the successful Encompass performances in November 2022 of ANGEL OF THE AMAZON, we are now planning a tour to high schools, colleges, and university arts centers of this compelling true story of Sister Dorothy Stang (1931-2005). Sister Dorothy courageously devoted her life to helping indigenous families of Brazil gain land rights and to protecting the Rainforest. ANGEL OF THE AMAZON is a centerpiece of the Encompass Paradigm Shifts Festival, dedicated to bridging indigenous cultures, women’s wisdom, and the environmental-social justice issues that explore our place in the universe.

Edmonia
EDMONIA, by composer Bill Banfield, is based on the true story of Edmonia Lewis, a Black and Native American (Ojibwa) artist who attains an international reputation as a sculptor; and yet her life was tragically forgotten, until her most famous piece, the Death of Cleopatra (1875) is discovered, lost in a Chicago public park. Driving the narrative, is the question... what happens or what do we miss, if we don’t discover our rich cultural heritage?
