Blues for an Alabama Sky at Shaw Festival

Dates: (8/2/2025 - 10/4/2025 )

Theatre:

Shaw Festival

Blues for an Alabama Sky explores the lives of five characters navigating love, loss, and ambition in 1930s Harlem. As Angel, a struggling singer recently dismissed from the Cotton Club, confronts her challenges, the play vividly reflects the glamour and resilience of the Jazz era. Directed by Kimberley Rampersad, this Canadian premiere promises a compelling blend of personal and cultural milestones.
