I wrote the play, "Church Peeples" about 20 years ago. Dr. Soki and I were talking about it one day; specifically the church announcements! I read her a few of the lines from the script and she immediately fell in love the with the play and from there we birth the character Betty Blindeye- assistant to Rev. DoRight and an Eyewitness Reporter for Chanel 12 News.
Dr. Soki was a natural at this part. In true Dr. Soki fashion, (for those who REALLY know her) she changed her lines and added componenets to the script both in reheresal and in "LIVE" performances!! She made the entire cast fall in love with her as well as the audinece. She was always the "fan" favortie.
She believed in me and my ability to write and direct that she constantly pushed me to do more and more. Due to her support I wrote, directed and acted in 4 plays last year! She is my biggest cheerleader and she loved me with her whole heart.
Church Peeples will never be same without our beloved Betty Blindeye.............
