PARK TUDOR LE  +  DIANA BUSH-HARRIS  =  DIVERSITY IN ACTION!

What do Diana Bush-Harris and Park Tudor have in common? A cause; and that cause is diversity.

On Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 9:45 a.m., nationally recognized singer, songwriter, and recording artist, Diana Bush-Harris will appear in an “all school” assembly at Park Tudor’s Lower Elementary School to support and endorse their message of diversity.

The all school assembly will include 3 to 4 songs by Bush-Harris, written, composed, and performed, yet “tailor-made” especially for Park Tudor, celebrating diversity, including a song inspired by Lower School Director, Dr. Jeffrey Mitchell, entitled “One Earth”.  Bush-Harris will also perform a catchy chant high-lighting the spelling of the school’s name.  In the spring of 2007, Diana began expanding her “music with life lessons” message to include young children and adults by developing a program designed to diffuse anxiety associated with testing, entitled “Born to Succeed”.  The program includes a song and DVD presentation, complete with reinforcement activities that have proven to increase academic interest, motivation and success.  This time she shows her versatile style teaching diversity through song with life experiences.  Bush-Harris will also speak inspirationally to the children.

“A lot of people say they believe in diversity, but taking action to prove it is entirely another matter”, says Bush-Harris.  “I believe this assembly says a lot about Park Tudor’s educational convictions, as well as Dr. Mitchell and the staff.  I’m proud to be a part of their message.”

Diana Bush-Harris’ music ability has been nationally recognized as a “a gift that brings joy”, “music that will fit any” special occasion and has received “honorable mention” for “Song of the Year 2004” standing up to such critiques as “Sheila E”, formerly of Prince and Norah Jones.

Diana Bush-Harris to sing at Walker Theatre in Indianapolis!
 

Fort Wayne native Diana Bush-Harris has been selected to appear in the play “Sonnets for my Sistahs” at the Walker Theatre in Indianapolis, July 14-15, 2007. 

The production written by Indianapolis-area resident and Gary native playwright Vernon A. Williams--features the comedy and drama of relationships in the new millennium and includes stunning praise dance as well as stirring vocal solos.  "Sonnets for my Sistahs" is unique in that all of its dialogue is poetry, taken from the book of the same title. 

Director Charla Thomas (auditorium manager at Broad Ripple High School) says "Sonnets...has somewhat of an Urban Shakespearean feel to it." She added that the premise of the play is the question, "if women ever persuaded men to open up and speak candidly from the heart about relationships, what would they say?"

Bush-Harris was selected after the original cast was chosen when Director Charla Thomas witnessed Diana’s delivery in song at a Mt. Paran Baptist Church service.  “Diana is an anointed, awe inspiring, artist that needs to be heard…Her delivery is sure to usher in the Spirit”.

“I was pleasantly surprised that this opportunity opened up.  I’m convinced it was by Divine design” says Bush-Harris who has desired to do some non-traditional forms of touching lives through her ministry.  She has also been slated to write inspirational songs to help inspire children to positively approach I-Step Testing for the coming year.

Show times will be at 7:00 pm on Saturday and 4:00 pm on Sunday.  Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The Walker Theatre is located at 617 Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis. Other Fort Wayne natives included in casting and music are Nakia and Tyrone Tolbert.
