The Bluest Eye at A Noise Within

A Noise Within presents a haunting and tragic portrait of a Black girl’s coming of age in the racially turbulent 1940s, adapted for the stage by Lydia R. Diamond from the novel by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison. Faced with constant ridicule and abuse, 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove blames her dark skin. If only she had blue eyes… surely love would follow? Tickets start at $29; Student tickets start at $18; A Noise Within, 3352 E Foothill Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107; (626) 356-3100; www.anoisewithin.org
