Dear Readers, I’m all for a slice of life play showing the inequities in class, race, gender, etc. in the past and spotlighting how far we have not come. Such a play is Pearl Cleage’s “Blues for an Alabama Sky”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep. It’s not a new play; in fact it’s about 30 years old. But it still packs in some resonance. What it fails to pack in completely is much of an arc or ending for its characters.

Celebrating the spirit of New Orleans music, food, culture and community, The Big Easy Cruise will feature performances by Little Feat, Samantha Fish, Galactic Ft. Jelly Joseph, Anders Osborne, Marc Broussard, and more.

Blues for an Alabama Sky is now playing at Seattle Rep through February 23. Check out all new clips from the show in this new video and learn more about the show here!
