Touring February-March 2024
Featuring a cast of four professional actors, Lift Ev’ry Voice tells the story of black history in the United States through stories, quotes, and songs. Highlighting the many voices throughout US history who have spoken out for equality for people of all races, Lift Ev’ry Voice encourages each of us to raise our voice to defend the defenseless and speak out for justice for our fellow man.
LIFT EV'RY VOICE is part of our educational program, traveling to many different schools to bring history to life through the compelling medium of theater.
There are two performances open to the public:
• Friday, Feb 2 - Ware Center 6-8pm
LIFT EV'RY VOICE celebrates Black History Month as a part of Millersville’s First Friday event, “We the People!”

As always, all shows are pay-what-you-will

Because the mission of Servant Stage is to make the arts accessible for everyone in our community, we do not have a set price that we charge for performances. We offer our mainstage performances as pay-what-you-will and are supported by the generous donations of our community. For the touring portion of our production of Lift Ev'ry Voice our break-even point is between $500-$800 for a donation to cover our expenses, but for schools and organizations unable to provide that amount, we are still happy to bring our production to you, thanks to the generosity of our Servant Stage sponsors and community.
