American Stage Extends the run of MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM Thru 2/20

Due to demand, American Stage Theatre Company has extended the run of August Wilson's Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM one extra week through Feb. 20. There will be no performance on Feb. 15 and the Feb. 20 performance will be at 6 p.m. (rather than the traditional 3 p.m.).

It's Chicago, 1927, and a group of black musicians gather in a rundown recording studio to make one of the earliest blues recordings. While the white agent and studio boss wait angrily for blues star Ma Rainey to show up, the four musicians in her band practice, bicker, tell stories and dream. In his first play, August Wilson issues an unforgettable challenge to America. Mature subject matter and language.

Performances and ticket prices are as follows:
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening curtain is at 7:30 p.m.
Friday and Saturday evening curtain is at 8 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday matinee curtain is at 3 p.m.
Sunday, February 20 matinee curtain is at 6 p.m.
