Piedmont Players Theatre Presents DREAMGIRLS
Piedmont Players Theatre along with Bill & Shari Graham present DREAMGIRLS.
Book & Lyrics by Tom Eyer
Music by Henry Krieger
DREAMGIRLS is a show about a time in American musical history when what is called rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music creating a new American sound. Act One is set in the fabulous sixties, a time when we were still screaming for Elvis and listening to the Beatles, but this was the beginning of when we were dancing to a new beat of countless girl and boy groups like The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Temptations and The Shirelles. Act Two shows the creation and the arrival of disco, though the word is never used in the script.
DREAMGIRLS is not just about the singing and the dancing and the performing. The play is also about the behind-the-scenes reality of the entertainment industry-the business part of show business that made possible this cultural phenomenon. The subject matter of this play deals with a musical contribution to America of such importance that only now-two decades later-are we beginning to understand.
