Ms. Ehrhardt’s performance is stunning; she fills the stage with her versatility, grace and style, and she’s helped by witty, well-structured text that tugs at our nostalgic sensibilities.”

“A New Hope” is a one-woman play based on the historical accounts of John Clarkson’s 1791 mission to America to improve the conditions of the Black Loyalists in Nova Scotia and to promote the colonization of Sierra Leone in Africa. The storyteller, through the voices of those who made the journey to Nova Scotia, tells of their hardships and hopes for a better life in this new land. Many found hope in the promises of John Clarkson, with the departure for some to Sierra Leone, Africa in 1792. The year 2008 marked the 225th anniversary of the Black Loyalists’ arrival in Nova Scotia and their creation of the first large free Black Community living in the world outside of Africa. “A New Hope” is a play created in honour of this celebration.

Shelley is doing her performances this February at Network Orange Cafe to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation Arts Fund Program, and its innovative use of the arts by African grassroots organizations that bring healing and hope to communities on the frontlines of the AIDS pandemic.
