Performed at the LifeHouse Theater, Redlands, California. January 11 - 26, 2020Women Warriors is an engaging and awe-inspiring autobiographical creation in tribute to ordinary women who became extraordinary. Some of these women are still well known while others, once famous in their day, have largely been forgotten. Meticulously researched, these women trace their lives looking back from a heavenly vantage point. You’ll be able to clearly see God’s involvement in their lives. Befitting a secular / diverse audience.
We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this delightful event. You made these people come alive and now we are even more amazed by what they did. Your passion, ability, enthusiasm, and warmth is beyond compare! We hope to have you back soon and applaud you for another outstanding presentation. ~Margo Bule
Thumbnail Sketch of Women Warriors
Anne Bradstreet - Anne was the first American poet—a sensual Puritan who wrote love poems to her husband. "If ever two were one, then surely we," she said. What happened on the worst day of her life in 1666? Did she value things over family?
Amy Carmichael - This proper Irish lass just wanted blue eyes. Well, that and she loved to tease her brothers. So how did she end up spending fifty-five years in India, fighting child prostitution?
Corrie ten Boom - Corrie looked a Nazi lieutenant straight in the eye and said In God’s eyes a half-wit may be worth more than a lieutenant. Corrie survived that and a concentration camp to fulfill a promise.
Mary McLeod Bethune - By the time Mary was nine years old, she could pick 250 pounds of cotton a day. She learned how from her mother and father—they were slaves. Mary became the first women to establish a university, still going strong.
Sojourner Truth - Sojourner was an escaped slave who talked openly to God—and expected an answer! She was a champion of civil rights who turned her attention to fightin' for women. She purposefully bared her bosom to an audience to quench the rumor that she was a man. Oh, did she have stories to tell.
Gladys Aylward - Gladys successfully led 100 barefooted children across the mountains of China. And she did it with a bounty on her head. Imagine being the target of enemy planes?
Harriet Beecher Stowe - I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation, she said. How did Harriet get the idea for Uncle Tom’s Cabin?
Elizabeth Fry - What was a rich woman doing voluntarily spending her nights in prison? Moreover, she told the King of France: "When you build a prison, you had better build with the thought ever in your mind that you and your children may occupy the cells." A nervy thing to do, even for an Angel of the Prisons.
Harriet Tubman - Moses! That's what they called her. Another nickname was General, given to her by the abolitionist John Brown. Harriet is described as mastermind of the rescue, woman of faith, military strategist. Quite appropriate when you know her fascinating story. A woman to be admired.
