You're His Child is a heartfelt meditation on religion, family, and song. Through live music, sound, and her performative interaction with archival recordings, actor Emmy Bean engages the history of her great-grandfathera kitchen-table hymn singer from rural Missouritelling stories about family and music through his voice and her own.
Opening for Emmy Bean's You're His Child, Vanessa Valliere performs The Life and Times of Terry, a multimedia journey through romance, parenthood, and success. Valliere tells the tale of one womans search for love, and the hilarity that ensues, through clowning, puppetry, audience participation, drawings, photos, and projections.
