MICHAEL W. HERBERT – PHOTO TAKEN 7/22/2010

“Actor” Michael Herbert, Sr.’s acting ability was uncovered recently when he had a key part in the play, “First Lady Drama”, a gospel musical stage play.  Mike played to sold-out audiences the part of Reverend Howard Johnson so well that he had the audience angry with him, calling him names.  He played the part of a “rotten philandering” husband of one of the first ladies, but he  later repented, singing the song Running Back To You, by Fred Hammond of Commissioned.  He said the show may be going on the road. . . . Bravo! Bravo!
