This Tony-nominated scorching Broadway musical is set in a seedy 1930s Chicago hotel. A
compilation of blues songs interweave stories of life, loss and love through the
unrivaled tunes and lyrics of Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen,
Alberta Hunter, Ida Cox and more. The music is raunchily forthright, infectiously
good-humored and always classically blues. Following the lives of three colorfully
characterized women and a male saloon singer, songs include "When A Woman Loves A Man,"
"Lover Man," "I'm Just A Lucky So-and So," and the compelling song that spotlights the
essence of blues music.

When: Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 5:00PM -- 6:30PM

ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE THEATRE

The Ensemble Theatre was founded in 1976 by the late George Hawkins to preserve African American artistic expression and to enlighten, entertain, and enrich a diverse community. The theatre is known as the only professional theatre in its region dedicated to the production of works portraying the African American experience. In addition to being the oldest and largest professional African American theatre in the Southwest, it also holds the distinction of being one of the nation's largest African American theatres that owns and operates its facility with an in-house production team. Board President Emeritus Audrey Lawson led the capital campaign for The Ensemble's $4.5 million building renovations that concluded in 1997.
