Pacific Repertory Theatre's A Chorus Line 1995
I do not own the rights or anything. I just played Mark in this production. There is tons of video nothingness in the opening number but I wanted to salvage the audio so bare with it. At the end of the production during the credits a clean version of the opening video with an alternate Zach and vocal solo performer plays. Parental Warning since this is based off the original production. Profanity and adult themes exist. This has been copied from a VHS utilizing Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus.

Joshua Fit The Battle of Jericho
Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho is a Negro Spiritual that recounts the biblical story of Joshua, and even as far back as the 1800s, gave a strong sense of hope to African-American slaves that their freedom would soon come. From researching its origins, learning the Moses Hogan version, having Débo Ray adapt it for Women of the World, to finally performing it on stage; this song has evolved into medicine music for us!
