Previews For Eclipse Theatre Company's A SONG FOR CORETTA Begins Previews 6/11
Eclipse Theatre Company's 2009 season: The Celebration Series Part II continues with the Chicago Premiere of Pearl Cleage's latest work. Inspired by the long line of mourners who came by Ebenezer Baptist Church to pay their respects to Mrs. Coretta Scott King, A Song for Coretta introduces five fictional African-American women, aged 17 to 57, waiting in the rain to say their final good-byes. Cleage shows the impact that Mrs. King had on the lives of these women, and the connections that they build with one another through her memory and legacy. Previews take place on June 11, 12, 13 at 8:30 pm, ($5 Industry tickets available for all previews!). Opening night is Sunday, June 14 at 7 pm.
