"Mr. Joy" A Theatrical Experience

On Leap Day, CheyneyStrong will hold a three-part fundraising activity titled, "Mr. Joy" A THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE. This fundraising event will start with a red-carpet premier luncheon, include a silent auction with wine, beer and cheese and concludes with a dramatic presentation of "Mr. Joy" starring stage and screen actress, Debra Walton, from New York. What happened to Mr. Joy? A Harlem community is shaken when Mr. Joy is the victim of a sudden and violent attack. Through the lens of nine of Mr. Joy's customers - all brought to life by one actress- we learn the subtly profound and unassuming impact the shop owner has had on each of their lives. Poignant, thoughtful and stirring, Mr. Joy invites you to celebrate the power of the invisible ties that bind us all. Written by Daniel Beaty. For many of you, this may be a chance to reconnect with old friends and acquaintances as you browse the auction and chat. For newcomers unfamiliar with the Cheyney Family, your participation may open a new avenue of very loyal and true-blue group of consumers.
