About the Performance
Sunday is the most segregated day in America. Go Ye Therefore… is a story about two southern women — one white, one black, both daughters and granddaughters of Baptist preachers — rooted in different racial and cultural worship traditions. New Orleans native Kathy Randels and first generation Zimbabwean-American Rebecca Mwase trouble the waters of their Baptist upbringings in search of spirituality’s truth, revel in the unifying joy of song, and explore the tenuous history of the Missionary and the Native.
