Who is Eartha Mae? Created by & starring Jade Wheeler
The sharp-witted, glamorous, incomparable Eartha Kitt commands the spotlight. But backstage in her dressing room, in the quiet between songs, she peels back the glitz to reveal Eartha Mae: a girl from the South Carolina cotton fields, orphaned by her mother until an audience adopted her.
Told through both story and song, Urbanite Theatre’s first-ever musical production unearths the complex truth behind the icon: “I’m a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don’t trust diamonds and gold.”
Presented as a one-woman act, playwright and performer Jade Wheeler brings to life a powerful woman in search of happiness and the roots she never forgets.
