BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY

BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY

By Pearl Cleage

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

May 20 – June 17, 2023

Directed by Sonya Randall

In the summer of 1930 in Harlem, NY, the creative euphoria of the Harlem Renaissance has given way to the harsher realities of the Great Depression. Guy and Angel, recently fired from the Cotton Club, struggle to hold on to their dreams; he of costuming Josephine Baker and she of having a steady career as a singer. When Leland, a recent transplant, comes to Angel’s aid, he sees in her a memory of lost love and a reminder of the Alabama skies he misses. Will they find what they are looking for in Harlem, or will they have to look beyond 125th Street to fulfill their dreams?
