POOLED: A Gospel Musical Drama


  • Bowie Center for the Performing Arts 15200 Annapolis Road Bowie, MD, 20715 United States (map)

Performances: Dec 2 @8pm, Dec 3 @2pm

Directed by Tony-nominated producer and Broadway veteran actor Valencia Yearwood (For Colored Girls, Thoughts of a Colored Man, The Lion King, Once Upon a Mattress) and written by former Prince George’s County resident Moses T. Alexander Greene, POOLED is the story of Delsin Jacobs’ arrival to the Pool of Bethesda and his single-minded determination to be the next person to receive its healing. According to legend, the first person to step into the Pool after its waters are touched by an angel is healed completely of any infirmity — physical, emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, sexual. Though driven by a resolve to receive a healing that enables him to see what his heart looked like before enduring adverse experiences in his childhood, it is Delsin’s interactions with others there that causes him to question the purity of his quest. When his moment presents itself, he is made to confront whether he wants to be the only one healed now or not.
