*Depicted: Jaeda LaVonne, Debo Balogun, Ashli René Funches, Felicia Oduh, & Anji White with Music by Mike Pryzgoda“Music director and composer Mike Przygoda, alongside sound designer Dee Etti Williams, craft a rich sonic landscape that skillfully balances music and spirituality, presenting them as deeply connected and occasionally in conflict. Their work captures the rigidity of a Southern religious household, the soulful joy of the blues, and lingering unease surrounding demonic forces.”
