“Her fight against AIDS, the creation of the King Center, and education on curbing gun violence°K is proof that one person can change the world,” says local actress Chanel Bragg, who portrays a Hurricane Katrina victim in Black Theatre Troupe’s production of A Song For Coretta, opening at Playhouse on the Park.

Penned by Atlanta writer Pearl Cleage, the play follows the personal lives of five fictional women from very different backgrounds who meet at Scott King’s funeral including Bragg’s character Mona Lisa Martin, who lives out of her car and brings a bottle of cheap bourbon to help make the trip bearable.
