The Stages Festival Presents Paterson Performing Arts Development Council's Virtual Performance Of BROWN, BLACK AND BLUES
Brown, Black and Blues is a soul-stirring evening of dance movement, musical interludes, and lyrical poetry exploring the existential origins of the sounds of revolution.
New Jersey Theatre Alliance presents Affiliate Member the Paterson Performing Arts Development Council's virtual performance of Brown, Black and Blues on May 22, 2022 at 5PM.
This event is part of NJTA's The Stages Festival, the state's largest annual theatre festival, which provides free and discounted theatre events for all ages throughout the months of March, April, and May. The cost of this event is $10.
Brown, Black and Blues is a soul-stirring evening of dance movement, musical interludes, and lyrical poetry exploring the existential origins of the sounds of revolution. Are the blues the solemn recurrent verse of a particular group of people? Or could the truth be more mystical, more spiritual?
"We are excited to be included in the prestigious lineup of the 2022 Stages Festival as an Affiliate Member of the New Jersey Theater Alliance," said Denise E. Womack, a local poet, and Board President of the PPADC. "This partnership represents a mutual commitment to shepherd and cultivate more diverse and non-traditional theatre offerings."
The Stages Festival offers over 70 in-person and online performances, workshops, classes, and events at theatres, libraries, and other community venues throughout the state. The program was developed to encourage New Jersey's residents to attend their local professional theatres by making the experience affordable, accessible, and fun.
