As part of our 2021-22 Season – “Go Back And Get It” – True Colors Theatre will be expanding its work of amplifying Black Voices by increasing the reach of established Black Artists nationally and commissioning new works from emerging Black Artists locally.
MARIE AND ROSETTA
November 30th – December 30th, 2021
Written by George Brant
Directed by Andrea Frye
Music Direction by S. Renee Clark
To kick off our “Go Back and Get It” season and celebrate our return to stage, we proudly present Marie and Rosetta. Belatedly acknowledged as the Godmother of Rock ‘n Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe shattered every barrier that she faced as she made her mark on the music world. Marie and Rosetta chronicles her journey with young gospel singer Marie Knight, whom she recruited away from Mahalia Jackson.
IN THE CONTINUUM
The Foundation, Funding, and Future of Black Theatre
As we launch into our ‘Go Back and Get It” season, join us for “In the Continuum: the Foundation, Funding, and Future of Black Theatre.” An essential conversation in the true spirit of Sankofa, as we look back to our roots of Black theatre in America and glean from the many lessons learned a vision for our future, this Community Conversation will feature leading voices and scholars, presented in partnership with Generator and Hammonds House Museum.
