Eartha Kitt: UnAuthorized Confessions of a Sex Kitten was written for stage by Sanedria Potter, who will also serve as Director for this Intimate One Woman Show. "Just as important as the message of Endurance and Courage that this show has for today's young people, is the opportunity to create much needed jobs and renewed interest in Theatre" says the New York Film Academy alumna Sanedria Potter. Sanedria Potter has developed several other historical stories in the one woman/man format. "Oftentimes in our culture the same stories get told and usually only in February," says Sanedria.
The writing of her book "Behind the Pulpit" was something she felt she had to do. She wanted people, young and old, to know that even if you did not have a storybook childhood, that it does not have to dictate your adult life, you can overcome anything. The book took her to many cities for book signings and readings. She was featured on WGHP FOX 8 for their "Meet the Author" segment. She has had speaking engagements at schools, focusing on topics of "bullies" and "being inspired". These issues are tackled in her book. She is currently working on her next book.
