Written by Sally MayesDirected by UH alumnus Brett CullenMusic by Sally Mayes, Tex Arnold, Alex Rybeck and Ethan FeinOrchestration by Cooper Baldwin The School of Theatre & Dance is excited to announce a special guest artist residency and workshop performance with actress, singer and Tony Award nominee Sally Mayes.Growing up in East Texas gave Mayes many things a love for music of all kinds, a high tolerance for extremely spicy food and an appreciation for all things odd and quirky. Most of all, it gave her a bone-deep love for a people that are frequently caricatured but not often understood, and a longing to tell their stories in all of their complicated messiness.Described as a memory play with music, Contradiction of the Southern Soul tells the story of an actress returning to her East Texas hometown in the wake of a family tragedy to make peace with the past and accept the future.I say its a show about looking back in order to be able to move forward. Its a love letter to my family and the colorful people who formed me, this place and these people made me who I am. Sally MayesAll ticket sales support School of Theatre & Dance scholarships.
