BLUES IN THE NIGHT

Conceived by Sheldon Epps
April 12 – May 5, 2024

The soul of the blues wails out full and strong in Blues in the Night, a scorching, Tony-nominated musical! The 26 hot and torchy numbers that tell of the sweet, sexy, and sorrowful experiences that three women have with the lying, cheating snake of a man who does them wrong will leave you energized, inspired and ready to wail.

The interweaving stories are defined through glorious songs that cover the range of this indigenous American art form, from Bessie Smith to Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Alberta Hunter, Jimmy Cox, Ida Cox and more, telling of the pain and misery of life and love — and also of the dogged determination to get through it all — that is the essence of the blues.

Approximate run time: 2 hours, including one 20-minute intermission.

SUCCESSION

Written by Charles White
REGIONAL PREMIERE
February 23 – March 24, 2024

Promising young black actor Steve Harrison will stop at nothing to achieve success. He uses his charm to deceive and undermine older actor and mentor Marcus Chandler and make opportunities for himself to get on the Broadway stage. Steve achieves success in the black theater world, but the enemies he makes on his quest have long memories and stand in the way of his Broadway ambitions.

Succession explores the world of Black theatre through the actions of Steve Harrison, a promising young actor, who tramples over his mentor, Marcus Chandler, and all other perceived obstacles in his relentless quest to get on the Broadway stage.

Approximate run time: 1 hour, 45 minutes, with no intermission.
