- Portia White: First You Dream is a two-act musical play written by Lance Woolaver. It is based on the life of singer Portia White. Born in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1911, and part of a large family, White sang in the choir at her father's church as a child, won several singing competitions, and in 1944 began touring Canada, the United States, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. The music consists of spiritual and classical pieces, all in the public domain. The play was first performed in workshop in Halifax 2003, and has since been performed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Prince George, British Columbia, and Petrolia, Ontario. It was a huge hit when premiered, and the performance was acknowledged in the Canadian House of Commons as supporting Black History Month. (en)
