MAAFA INFLUENCE PRODUCTION 2025: "ECHOES OF THE UNTOLD" RETURNS TO BRIDGEPORT
New Generation of Directors, Who Began as Child Performers, Lead This Year's Powerful Theatrical Event
BRIDGEPORT, CT [October 15, 2025] – Mount Aery Baptist Church will host its monumental annual cultural event, the MAAFA Influence Production 2025: Echoes of The Untold, for one night only on Saturday, November 1st, 2025, at 7:00 PM.
This year's production marks a significant milestone as it is Written & Directed by a new generation of leaders: Jazmin JeanBaptiste, Shanice Maxwell, and Tiffany Williams-Blackwell. In a powerful testament to the production’s legacy, these dynamic directors first performed in the MAAFA production as children when they were just 10 years old! They are now stepping forward to ensure this essential history continues to resonate with new audiences.
The production is the centerpiece of Mount Aery Baptist Church's 20+ year journey to ensure the stories of our history, the spiritual and cultural experience of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and the African diaspora will never be erased. The church is deeply committed to using this sacred psychodrama as a means of remembrance, healing, and cultural preservation.
Mount Aery Baptist Church and The Veronica Douglas Media Agency encourage the community and media to join in this powerful experience. "We are asking: Are you ready for an experience that will move your soul, ignite your spirit, and connect you to OUR powerful history that CANNOT be erased?"
Echoes of The Untold is more than a performance; it is an emotional, compelling journey that celebrates the resilience, strength, and triumph of our ancestors through dynamic storytelling, powerful dance, and soul-stirring music.
