August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom tells the story of the legendary blues singer Gertrude "Ma" Rainey in 1927 Chicago, highlighting her struggles against systemic oppression in the music industry. This Tony Award-winning play is a poignant exploration of Black culture and the exploitation faced by artists, centering on Rainey's fierce determination to control her music and narrative. Directed by Keith McCoy, the production not only pays tribute to Rainey's legacy but also recognizes her ties to the city where she launched her career. This heartfelt portrayal runs from January 23 to February 2 at the Springer Opera House.
