"Sophomore Joriah Fleming reaches for his Dreams" (Jena Burkey)

"Recently Joriah wrote, produced and starred in his first musical called 'Dream: A New Musical.'"

"The musical not only shows the physical journey, the emotional journey with the characters. The actors in this show did a great job of displaying a clear image of what really occurred back in the 50s and 60s dealing with racism and civil rights. The actors played the characters well and let their true emotions shine through. When King was shot, the family was devastated. The actors’ sorrow showed when they sung about their beloved father/husband."

​

Fleming’s show played on May 17th and 18th, 2013 at Western Michigan University’s Little Theatre."
