Victoria Barbee has been sharing her gift of song since she was a child in her father’s church for over 50 yrs.

In "Voices of Arrow Rock: What She Inspired," Victoria Barbee plays the role of Mirandy Williams.

Victoria's voice first rang out in her father's church over 55 years ago, and she's been captivating audiences ever since. With a dynamic career spanning Kansas City, New Orleans, and Las Vegas, Victoria is a celebrated actor and singer whose one-woman show, "The Real Barbee Un Masked," earned her the 2022 Crescendo Award and was revived by KC Public Theater in 2023.

She's also the founder of JAB Jewels, a children's theater company that turns the stories of urban youth into powerful stage productions. Her book "Victoria Wears a Mask" chronicles her journey of self-discovery after losing her hair to Alopecia, a deeply moving reflection on identity, voice, and resilience. Join us for her performance at 10 am on Saturday, October 4, at the Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre.

It's open to the public at no charge. Friends of Arrow Rock, Experience Arrow Rock, Arrow Rock State Historic Site, Persimmon Creek Writers and Artists Residency, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mid-America, Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre, The Central Missouri Loop, Missouri Valley College
