1963. Lake Charles, Louisiana. Caroline Thibodeaux is an African American maid earning thirty dollars a week working for the Jewish Gellman family. She is a single parent and the mother of four children.
This Olivier Award-winning musical, inspired by Pulitzer-prize winner author Tony Kushner’s boyhood, mixes blues, soul, Motown, classical music and Jewish folk songs to create a beautiful, uplifting and deeply moving portrait of America at a time of momentous social upheaval spurred by the civil rights movement.
The time is NOW to see Mercury Theatre Company Artistic Director’s favorite musical of all time. If you were moved by the vision of Mercury Theatre Company’s Ragtime, you will love Caroline, or Change.
