Photo Flash: Northlight Theatre's Black Pearl Sings!

Northlight Theatre will present Black Pearl Sings! by Frank Higgins and directed by Steve Scott, featuring Northlight's E. Faye Butler (Pearl) and Susie McMonagle (Susannah) through February 19, 2012 at Northlight Theatre, 9501 Skokie Blvd.

Northlight's play description: "Featuring beautiful, a cappella renditions of rare American folk songs, this play with music tells the Depression-era story of two extraordinary women dependant on one another to gain acceptance in a divided society. When Susannah, a song collector for the Library of Congress, overhears Pearl singing in a Texas prison, she will pull every string possible to introduce the woman with the silky voice and steely spirit to the world."
