The 1920s chapter of August Wilson’s epic American Century Cycle begins as a routine recording session. As tensions rise between the members of a blues band and the owners of the recording studio and the white producers try to exploit the talents of the band—especially the gifted and impulsive Levee— Ma insists on having things her way.

Shows run from 15-25 June, 2023. Thursday through Saturday 730pm. Sundays 2pm. General Admission $20.

All tickets will be at will call.
