ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For internationally acclaimed gospel recording artist, playwright, entrepreneur and three-time breast cancer survivor Delores Burgess, the curtain call of her recent one-woman musical production, “Fighting for the Title,” represented much more than the conclusion of a theatrical performance. It marked an incredible milestone in artistic expression, community connection and entrepreneurial determination.
Following its successful September and October showings at The Brio Theater, the newly established performing arts and creative center she founded in Tucker, Georgia, Burgess is preparing to introduce the inspirational production to broader audiences through theatrical bookings, touring opportunities and strategic investment partnerships.
Meanwhile, The Brio Theater is preparing to welcome audiences for an upcoming holiday production, continuing Burgess’ vision of transforming the intimate, black box theater and multi-use venue, into a vibrant cultural destination for the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.
“We look forward to booking our widely lauded, Broadway-quality production of “Fighting for the Title,” with theater lovers, as well as with corporate health entities, touring partners and investors,” said Burgess.
Written and performed by Burgess, “Fighting for the Title” chronicles her deeply personal journey through three battles with breast cancer, capturing the fear, uncertainty, faith, humor and determination that defined her fight to survive.
In a remarkable demonstration of theatrical versatility, Burgess portrays nine distinct characters, including her spirited five-year-old self, a triumphant grandmother and a no-nonsense physician she confronts with equal measures of courage and conviction. Through original music, dramatic storytelling and moments of unexpected humor, Burgess takes audiences beyond the medical realities of cancer to explore the emotional and spiritual experiences that accompany life-threatening challenges. The production’s recent successful run has reinforced what every audience member has expressed, that her story resonates globally and is a Broadway experience.
“I’m excited to see the response from audience members who have experienced ‘Fighting for the Title,’” shared Burgess. “It’s about discovering the strength to keep fighting, finding purpose in your pain and understanding that your story can become someone else’s inspiration. “Fighting for the Title” is my testimony, but its message belongs to everyone who has ever faced something that threatened to defeat them”, Burgess said.
Building on the production’s successful run, Burgess and her creative team are booking opportunities to present “Fighting for the Title” at performing arts centers, women’s conferences, faith-based gatherings, healthcare events, corporate programs and breast cancer awareness initiatives. The production presents opportunities for investors, corporate and entertainment partners, and sponsors to support its continued development, expanded visibility and national touring.
“There’s an audience for stories that entertain while touching hearts and changing perspectives,” Burgess explained. “Fighting for the Title” reaches women, families and communities in ways that are deeply transformative. We’re looking for partners who recognize the theatrical, educational and inspirational value of bringing this story to the likes of corporate audiences and Broadway stages,” she said.
Located at 4445 Hugh Howell Road in Tucker, The Brio is a newly renovated, independently owned performance venue offering original theatrical productions, performing arts instruction, creative development workshops, community programming and collaborative opportunities for emerging and established artists.
As a Black woman entrepreneur owning and operating an independent theatre, Burgess is helping to broaden representation in an industry where women in general, not to mention women of color, have historically faced significant barriers to ownership, financing and leadership.
An award-winning singer, actor, playwright, director, author, certified action coach and artistic mentor with more than three decades of experience, Burgess brings a uniquely multifaceted perspective to theatre ownership.
“The Brio is not simply about presenting shows,” Burgess said. “It’s about building a place where creativity, entrepreneurship, education and opportunity come together. I want artists to have a space where they can develop their talents, sustain their craft and discover possibilities they may never have imagined,” she said.
As The Brio continues building momentum as a fine arts institution, preparations are underway for a holiday theatrical production designed to bring families, friends and community members together for a memorable seasonal entertainment experience.

For Burgess, the success of “Fighting for the Title” and the continued development of The Brio Theater, represent interconnected chapters of a much larger story. Having survived cancer three times, built businesses and pursued artistic excellence across multiple disciplines, she understands that meaningful achievement requires vision, courage and perseverance.
“Everything I’ve experienced has prepared me for this chapter,” Burgess reflected. “My greatest desire is to create a legacy that makes dreams come true — a legacy that inspires people to pursue and fulfill their dreams,” she said.
