THE COLOR PURPLE is described as "a soul-stirring musical based on the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and the moving film by Steven Spielberg. It is the unforgettable and inspiring story of a woman named Celie, who finds her unique voice in the world. Nominated for 11 Tony Awards®, THE COLOR PURPLE is a landmark theatrical event, a celebration of love and a Broadway phenomenon.

"With a joyous GRAMMY®-nominated score featuring jazz, gospel and blues, THE COLOR PURPLE will capture the hearts of young and old, and uniting audiences in a community of joy. Brought to the Celebration Theatre Mainstage under the direction of NAACP award winner, Michael Matthews, with a cast of 17, this is a musical event not to be missed!"
