August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
The wild Tony & Oscar award-nominated story of a Jazz Age legend from America’s landmark Black playwright, August Wilson.
Enter the world of real-life jazz & blues icon Ma Rainey and follow a tumultuous and life-altering recording session in 1927 Chicago. Ma is brash & fearless, but her white producers still seek to exploit her and her one-of-a-kind voice. When these opposing forces meet, tempers flair and none walk away unscathed. Funny, sharp, and filled with surprises —this is a play you will not want to miss.
