NADINE MATTHEWS Special to The Miami Times

he significance of a Black actress playing the hallowed figure of a nun isn’t lost on veteran actress and business owner Karen Stephens. From “Agnes of God” to “Black Narcissus,” “The Sound of Music,” “The Bells of St. Mary,” and Meryl Streep starrer “Doubt,” to “Novi- tiate,”t directed by biracial filmmaker Maggie Betts, stories with nuns at the center don’t feature Black actresses, despite a large number of Black Catholics around the world. “Sister Act” features Whoopi Goldberg as a LasVe- gas lounge singer in witness protection pretending to be a nun.

Stephens plays Madre Maria in “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” running at the Colony Theater through Nov. 17. Based on Thronton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, it’s a lyrical fable of fate and love about five trav- elers in colonial Peru whose lives intersect in an epic and unexpected way. “It’s interesting because when they first told me about the role, I wondered why they wanted to cast me in it. But when I thought about it, I am the same complexion as [the other actresses in the play] and it takes place in Peru, a country of Brown people, so it wouldn’t be abnormal to see someone of my complexion in that country,” Stephens said. Madre Maria, the actress says is, “sort of a caretaker in the community. She runs an orphanage and programs for the very sick and the downtrodden.” Single-minded in her focus on keeping the orphanage running even after her death, Madre Maria is certainly a noble character. Like most things though, this virtue has a darker side. “She cares so much about the mission,” Stephens explains, “that it’s hard for her to see outside of that until she los- es something very special to her.” The West Palm Beach native does double duty as a respected actress and also a hairdresser. Originally, she thought she would become a musician. Stephens played the violin from fifth grade all the way through her graduation from West Palm Beach’s Forest Hill High. She also danced most of her life and aspired to go to New York City after high school to join the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. Her protective mom, however, nixed that idea. As is so often the case, mama made the right call. As Stephens played her violins in the orchestra pit at the Uni- versity of Florida, she became enthralled by the action on stage. She says, “There was something inside of me that responded to what they were doing.” She soon changed her major to drama. Stephens, who also pledged Delta Sigma Theta in col- lege, says when she thinks about the pivot in her career plans, it makes sense. “I had always been one of those kids who watched SEE KAREN 6C The Miami Times 2 MIAMITIMESONLINE.COM | NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019 The Miami Times 3 MIAMITIMESONLINE.COM | NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019
