Brévo Theatre will present the South Florida premiere of “The Color Purple,” a powerful musical adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and the acclaimed 1985 Steven Spielberg film, June 20-28 at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center.
Directed by Bryan Keyth Wilson and choreographed by TM Pride, the epic story follows Celie, a young woman who endures unimaginable hardship and embarks on a profound journey of resilience, self-discovery and empowerment across 40 years. The production is brought to life through a dynamic score blending jazz, ragtime, gospel, blues and African music.
“This story is a celebration of survival and the healing power of community,” Wilson said. “We're creating a theatrical experience that honors the heart of the material and the people who see themselves in it.”

Before the curtain rises, audiences can join Brévo Theatre for Brunch & Blues at Harpo’s, a pre-show brunch experience in partnership with Just Spoons Café, where comfort food meets community and celebration. Guests can enjoy a curated brunch menu and music rooted in gospel and blues. Seating is limited, and advance reservations are encouraged.
Date: June 27
Time: June 27 begins at 1 p.m.
Pricing: $130 general admission, $150 VIP (includes one complimentary drink, cabaret table seating and a complimentary mason jar)
