PLAYWRIGHT GWENDOLYN D.ADAMS- EVANS FIRST GOSPEL PLAY (JOBLEEN, A WOMAN OF STRENGTH) IS A TRUE STORY WRITTEN IN 2005 AND RE-WRITTEN IN 2010,
ABOUT WOMEN WHO HAVE SUFFERED ABUSE IN ANY FORM TO THEIR BODIES BY OTHERS OR BY THEIR OWN FREE WILL, PREMIERED ON JANUARY 29,th AT THE STRAIGHT LIFE CHURCH OF GOD, IN DECATUR GEOR, BISHOP ROBERT L. WILLIAMS (PASTOR).

THE PLAY, JOBLEEN, A WOMAN OF STRENGTH WAS A SUCCESS AND THE AUDIENCE LOVED THE PERFORMANCE. THE STORY IS BASED ON THE TRUE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE LIVES OF WOMEN MS EVANS HAS A CLOSE FREINDSHIP WITH. SHE EXTRACTED NOTES FROM VARIOUS CONTRIBUTORS AND WROTE THIS PLAY IN 2005, ADDING YET ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER TO HER PLAY IN 2010.

IN JULY OF 2010, REHEARSALS BEGAN. EVERYONE WANTED TO BE DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER AT ONE POINT. THEIR WAS LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MS. EVANS WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONSTRUCT WITH TWO SEASONED ACTRESSES AND THE REMAINDER OF NON ACTORS.

THROUGH THE MIDST OF ALL THE STRESS AND TENSION AT WHAT SEEMED TO BE EVERY REHEARSAL, THERE WERE SOME DISCREPENCIES ABOUT THIS PLAY THAT WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. THERE WERE UNTRUTHS ADDED ABOUT THIS PLAY. BOTTOM LINE....IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR ONE PERSON, BUT FOR THE WOMEN MS. EVANS HAD VERY CLOSE ASSOCIATIONS WITH, NOT USING THEIR NAMES SHE WAS ABLE TO RE-CONSTRUCT CERTAIN INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE,VERBAL AND MENTAL ABUSE, THESE WOMEN WENT THROUGH IN THEIR LIVES.

SHE RESPECTED THIS AND CONTINUED TO REHEARSE "JOBLEEN A WOMAN OF STRENGTH". IT NEVER OCCURED TO HER THAT THIS SCRIPT WOULD HAVE SUCH A HEAVY IMPACT ON EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT TO WATCH THE PLAY. A STANDING OVATION WAS EMOTIONAL FOR MS. EVANS AS WELL AS HER CAST MEMBERS LISTED BELOW. I, FOR ONE WAS AMAZED AT HER WRITING ABILITY AND HOW SHE KEPT HER COMPOSURE WHEN THINGS JUST DIDN'T GO RIGHT. SHE IS AN AMAZING, MATURE WOMAN WITH SO MUCH SELF CONTROL AND TONS OF PATIENCE.
