Mrs. Coretta Scott King, will be portrayed by Off Broadway actress, Bianca LeVern Jones, fresh from her role as Goneril in Shakespeare's King Lear at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.
The Broadway musical "Have A Dream" has something for everyone, a mix of sheer entertainment with profound education. The original Billie Williams' Broadway production has evolved since 1976, touring 126 cities worldwide between 1985 and 2003. The playwright, Josh Greenfield scripted King's iconic quotations, public speeches and writings into a re-enactment of America's Civil Rights Era (Southeastern region, 1955 - 1968). Under the gifted direction of Herman LeVern Jones, history unfolds for today's audiences, imbued with Jones' unique educational and artistic background and his intimate familiarity with the King family.
