THE NATIONAL BROADWAY TOUR OF “THE COLOR PURPLE
“Dear God, I am 14 years old. I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what is happening to me.” The first lines of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and the Tony-winning, Grammy-nominated Broadway musical originally produced by Oprah Winfrey in 2005 open an evening of powerful musical theatre and emotionally wrenching social message. Timed to celebrate Women’s History and Black History months, The Color Purple begins in the 1930s and spans four decades in narrator and main character Celie’s life in the Southern United States as told through letters she’s written to God. Set to a score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues, it’s a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love and a celebration of life. http://www.colorpurple.com/the_color_purple_musical.pdf $34.50/$19.50 Child/$17 BU Student - - Mitrani Hall - 400 East Second Street, Bloomsburg, PA, 17815, United States - 570-389-4409 - http://bloomu.edu/CAS
