A world premiere by Sheri Williams Pannell. 1957. The heart of Milwaukee’s Bronzeville pulses to the beat of jazz and doo-wop. Everyone expects Michael Jr. to follow in his father's footsteps, but who he is truly meant to be? The local talent show, a visit by iconic jazz singer Billie Holiday, and the wisdom and guidance of a community seeking to lift up their young people help Mike find the path to the man he will become. Developed with input and support from the elders in the Bronzeville community, join us for this homage to this historic and revered neighborhood, revealing a humorous and touching tale of growing up, finding one’s true self, and the power of community.
Winners have been announced for the 2020 BroadwayWorld Milwaukee Awards - which were back bigger than ever, celebrating the best in local theatre of the past decade!
