Play By Marsha Norman | Music and Lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis, Stephen Bray

This uplifting musical reminds us to “be thankful for the days we’ve been given-both the easy and the hard ones we’re living”. Alice Walker’s remarkable coming-of-age story is again brought to life and told as only the Black Theatre Troupe can, weaving this touching and sometimes darkly painful tale of the power of love to overcome. Featuring a vibrant score infused with jazz, ragtime, gospel, African music, and blues, this musical celebration is a testament to the human spirit and the healing power of love.

This project is partially funded by the City of Tempe – Community Arts Grant
