Known worldwide for his artistic vision which guided Jomandi Productions through its own golden
age of African American theater, Tom Jones is headed back to Atlanta for the revival of his
production, Three Sistahs. Running July 15 to August 28 at the Horizon Theater in Little Five
Points, Jones once again directs the new blues & pop musical about sibling affection and family
ties.

The intimate story of the Bancroft sisters (Olive, Marsha and Irene) unfolds in the autumn of 1969
as they have arrived to say good-bye to their childhood home. Sparks fly between these sisters as
they share wine, memories, dreams and secrets. Ultimately, during their last night in their
childhood home, Three Sistahs must determine what family now means to them.

"This piece tells the story of so many women who discover they have lost their voice in life," states
Jones. "It's about three sisters stepping up to find themselves in the midst of heartache. They
learn to triumph over their tragedy by reconnecting on a multitude of levels with one another."
Created by Janet Price, Jones penned the play's book and lyrics and musical director, William
Hubbard, composed the work. The dynamic trio anchoring Three Sistahs includes Bernardine
Mitchell and CrystAl Fox reviving their roles from 2006 alongside Amber Iman, last seen at
Horizon Theatre in the 2010 summer smash hit Shakin' the Mess Outta Misery.

The play runs July 15 through August 28, Wed, Thurs and Fri at 8pm, Sat at 3pm and 8:30pm and
Sunday at 5pm. Tickets start as low as $25* (plus 8% sales tax) for general admission seats on
weeknights. Or you can be a VIP with reserved seating and other special perks starting at $40*.
Prices are subject to availability, so get your tickets early for the best prices. Tickets and
