- Feb 25, 2011
The weekend of February 25th, The Grove Theatre continues its celebration of Black History Month with Sweet Mama Stringbean, a celebration of blues legend Ethel Waters starring ValLimar Jansen. Born in 1896, the unwanted product her mother's rape at knifepoint at the age of 12, Ethel Waters grew up unsupervised in the slums of Philadelphia. Violence was more prevalent than warmth or love throughout her poverty-stricken childhood. She left her own abusive marriage at the age of 14, but her voice was beginning to draw attention. She sang and danced at church functions and started performing in black vaudeville in 1917. She then traveled with a carnival and finally moved to Harlem, eventually becoming a celebrated blues singer. She was the first female black singer to be heard on radio and, later, the highest-paid female performer on Broadway. She won a Grammy Award in 1933 and was the second black performer to be nominated for an Academy Award, for her performance in Pinky (1949).
