Life-Changing Art: E. Faye Butler

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?

It was a collection of music, songs by Ella Fitzgerald. Ella, thru her music helps me understand that life is a gift, and we should never throw our gifts away. There is a reason and a purpose for every gift we've been given; own it, share it, and respect it. Only then do you realize what a true gift life is.

E. Faye Butler stars in Center Stage's terrific revival of August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, which runs through May 9.
