In Memoriam

“Memory is the language of those passed on, now residing in Glory.”

Soul Rep Theatre Company has been blessed to work with tremendously talented artists over the years, many of whom we collaborated with on more than one occasion. We are so grateful the universe saw fit to send each of the fellow artists and friends listed below our way…if only for a short time. Their gifts and light illuminated our stage!
