Artist-in-Residence… at a cathedral?

Award-winning actress and solo performer Anna Deavere Smith has taken on the task of being the first Artist-in-Residence at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral.  Smith is known for creating powerful solo performances through doing extensive interviews in research, then assemble a performance of direct quotations from those interviews, taking on the character of the interviewees.

What a great opportunity for the church at large to look at another way that artists can interact with the life of a congregation.
