BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY by Pearl Cleage
Its the summer of 1930 and the creative spirit of the Harlem Renaissance is giving way to the realities of the Great Depression. In an apartment building on 126th street, five passionate and progressive friends carve out a future for themselves within a changing city. Playwright Pearl Cleage (Flyin West and Oprah Book Club selection What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day) tells a strikingly modern and spirited story set during a time when Rev Adam Clayton Powell, Jr was preaching activism in the Abyssinian Baptist Church and Josephine Baker was singing the blues in the Folies Bergère. Like the heartwrenching harmonies and lyrics of the blues, their individual stories create a song of intense feelings. Blues for an Alabama Sky is an emotionally charged piece which simultaneously laments lost dreams, celebrates life, and looks toward the future with hope.
