Child of the Sun

Child of the Sun is a musical in 2 Acts about a Black American family in turmoil. and their need for relief from cultural influences and their path to salvation. It takes place over a twenty-five year span, during the mid-20th century in an American inner-city. A child born to this family, a young vibrant, dynamic figure who lightens the heart and stirs the spirit of all who meet him. Perhaps he is a savior to oppose the Powers that influence and claim the souls of the community at large. It is a allegory of the story of Christ with a difference – DamienLeake.com
