“The Color Purple” brings to life the unforgettable journey of Celie, a young Black woman in the early 20th century American South. With a soulful score that blends gospel, jazz, and the blues, this musical adaptation captures Celie's transformation from a life of hardship and abuse to one of empowerment and self-discovery.
The production is directed by Taijee and co-directed by Michelle Young-Hobbs. Musical direction is by Laleata May, and choreography by Daija Black. The production is in partnership with the John McLinn Ross Players at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
