On October 19, 2017, Nalick released her third full-length album At Now. Nalick's second album Broken Doll & Odds & Ends was released on June 5, 2011. Nalick left her label under Sony in 2009 after a falling-out surrounding the release of her second album. Her debut album, Wreck of the Day, featuring her first radio hit, "Breathe (2 AM)", was released on April 19, 2005. It may not have forwarded the feminist movement in the way one might have guessed but sisterhood is, in fact, a progression of its own.Anna Christine Nalick ( NAL-ik born March 30, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter. Over all, the play was a ‘rollercoaster,’ as aptly stated by cast member and director of the play Brenda Protz, LLCC professor of speech communication. The miracle of childbirth has been watered down and demonized to the point that women across the world elect to have C-sections to escape the terrible light shed on vaginal birth. “I Was There in The Room,” voiced by Resistor Sisterhood member Tracy Owens, remains closest to my heart. Many are ashamed of what they cannot explain, leaving girls vulnerable to the detrimental impact of misinformation. Sex education does not necessarily tell a developing girl all she needs to know about her own anatomy. “The Flood,” voiced by mother and retired teacher Sherry Wold, brought attention to a largely unnoticed problem in today’s society. Still, there were very distressing moments that shed light on some issues that women suffer from today.īuffy Lael-Wolf, a nurse and child’s advocate, brought justice to a woman whose husband blamed her lack of shaving for his adulterous ways in her voicing of the monologue “Hair”. The monologues were powerful, humorous, sassy and, in general, a celebration. It was obvious that these women were more than actresses in a show together they were a family, giving and receiving strength with one another. She did not hold back her anger nor her grief, and the passionate delivery added to the sense that real progress was underway.Īll 13 cast members took the stage for the introduction. Possibly the best of the preshow was the poem “Black Girl,” written and recited by author and cast member Shatriya Smith. The acoustic guitar she played highlighted the raw emotion in her voice, and the mix brought goosebumps to my arms. Then, Steph Mayotte of Champaign sung an exceptional cover of ‘Breathe’ by Anna Nalick. They showed the natural power and beauty that women of all body types have within themselves. The preshow entertainment began with an enthralling routine by the LotusFire belly dance group. Friday evening tickets were sold out and some in attendance were left without formal seating. The setting was somewhat intimate at its new location, the Hoogland Center for the Arts. The feelings of friendship, sisterhood and unity were simply infectious. Among the things I took from this year’s performance of the Vagina Monologues was a profound sense of camaraderie.
