The National Tour of THE COLOR PURPLE, now at ASU Gammage through April 22nd, is a masterpiece of soulful vibrations, telling of Celie's journey from poverty to empowerment. Deserving of Amens and Hallelujahs! Electrifying cast led by Adrianna Hicks and featuring powerhouse performances by Carla Stewart, Carrie Compere, N'Jameh Camara, Gavin Gregory, and J. Daughtry.

The national tour of THE COLOR PURPLE rolls into DPAC next month led by five members of the original Broadway cast, including Carla R. Stewart, who steps into Shug Avery's shoes. Stewart says she is blessed to be part of such a timely and timeless story.
