In 2015, we were honored to have multi-faceted artist, and 2016 MacArthur "genius" award recipient, Joyce J. Scott as a special guest performer in the PJP production of FEATHERS: A Musical Menagerie Inspired by the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and influenced by the music of Francis Johnson. Much like the rest of this project's creative team, Scott took part in the writing process, sharing musical ideas and adding lyrics to the work.
