SUMMARY:2019 - 2020 Season: She Griots
DESCRIPTION:Incoming Artistic Director Jamil Jude and True Colors Theatre Company are thrilled to announce the 2019 – 2020 season\, dubbed “She Griots.” The three productions of this 17th season focus on strong women playwrights\, storytellers\, historians and leaders of various generations. \nThe season opens in September\, when True Colors will conclude Dominique Morisseau’s The Detroit Project Trilogy with Paradise Blue. In past seasons\, True Colors has produced the two other plays in the trilogy\, Detroit ’67 and Skeleton Crew. Set in 1949\, Paradise Blue explores a jazz club in Detroit’s Black Bottom\, a neighborhood on the verge of urban renewal and radical change. \nFebruary 2020 brings Jocelyn Bioh’s comedic hit School Girls; Or\, the African Mean Girls Play to the stage. This production follows a group of young women at a Ghanaian boarding school vying to participate in the Miss Ghana Pageant and ultimately\, the Miss Global Universe Pageant. \nThe season closes with George Brant’s Marie and Rosetta\, a play with music that tells the story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe and her protégée Marie Knight\, as they develop the relationship that led them to become a dynamic singing duo. \nClick here for more information about subscriptions. \nClick here to purchase single tickets.

SUMMARY:Paradise Blue
DESCRIPTION:Paradise Blue | Written by Dominique Morisseau \nIt’s 1949\, and the new mayor of Detroit is working to get rid of the blight of the city—and to move African Americans out of Detroit’s Black Bottom. Blue\, a gifted trumpeter\, considers selling his once thriving family jazz club\, leaving his beloved Pumpkin and her dreams aside. As Blue fights personal demons to better his life and maintain his sanity\, his fellow band members\, Corn and P-Sam\, are stuck wondering where they fit into the plan to benefit from the changes in their neighborhood. Silver\, a mysterious woman with a history\, enters the scene with her own plans\, turning the lives of everyone upside down. \nSet against a backdrop of gentrification and displacement\, Paradise Blue encompasses the pain and suffering that accompany the erasure of Black history. \nAdditional Programming\nGreek/HBCU Week\nWednesday\, October 2 at 7:30 PM Post-Show | Cast Meet + Greet\nThursday\, October 3 at 7:30 PM Pre-Show | Complimentary glass of wine with ticket\nFriday\, October 4 – Sunday\, October 6 All performances | $10 off tickets purchased at box office \nCast Talk Back\nSunday\, October 6 at 5:00 PM | FREE | Southwest Arts Center\nJoin us for a moderated post-show conversation with the cast.
