Stagecrafters To Present THE COLOR PURPLE

Stagecrafters has announced its upcoming production of the Tony Award-winning musical, The Color Purple, running from January 10-26 at the Baldwin Theatre in Royal Oak.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and the Warner Bros./Amblin  Entertainment motion picture, this moving and inspiring story follows Celie, a young African-American  woman living in the early 20th century South, as she navigates hardship, discovers her voice, and finds  strength in the bonds of sisterhood. 

The Color Purple is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. With a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, African music, and blues, this production promises an unforgettable theatrical experience. Audiences will be captivated by Celie's journey of self-discovery and the powerful  relationships she forges with the women around her. 

“The Color Purple is a vital story that needs to be told, especially now,” said Jerry Haines, Director of  Stagecrafters The Color Purple. “At a time when diversity and inclusion are under threat, we are  proud to present this powerful musical about overcoming oppression and finding love. This production  at Stagecrafters promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience, and I'm incredibly excited for  this exceptionally talented cast to share their gifts with our audiences.”
