SOUND AND MUSIC
“THUNDER IS NOT YET RAIN” BY JENN MUNDIA

“Mlima’s Tale starts with a summoning of ancestors and calls upon all of us to heed their lessons. Lynn’s writing has incredible musicality and rhythm already, and when added to Jenn Mundia’s gorgeous original score, I hope audiences will feel the power of ritual and communion that only theater, whether seen or heard, can provide.” -Reginald L. Douglas
