Starring Eddie Goines, a veteran of ABC-TV’s  “NYPD Blue’’ and “One Life To Live”” and Bethune-Cookman College graduate Victoria Brooks, “I Shall Overcome” offers a mix of comedy, suspense, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues and family-based emphasis as it tells the story of a man on search of his true identity and faith in God.

Coleman, a psychology major scheduled to graduate in Summer 2004, has authored two novels – “I Shall Overcome” and “How I Made It Over” – and both have converted into Gospel stage plays. He has also penned another play, “I’ve Cried For The Last Time” and has recorded and produced a Gospel CD “My Season.”  

“I Shall Overcome” was recently read at the National Black Theatre Festival.

Tickets are $33.50, $26.50 and $16.50. For more information, contact the Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center Box Office at (386) 481-2778 or visit www.ticketmaster.com or www.colemanworks.com
