Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Check out this production!
As part of our commitment to presenting August Wilson’s work, we bring you our seventh production of his American Century Cycle: Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, directed by Gregg T. Daniel. Set in a Chicago recording studio in 1927, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom unfolds with tension, music, and truth. As legendary blues singer Ma Rainey arrives to record, underlying conflicts rise among her band, exposing deep wounds, ambition, and the realities of race in America. With sharp dialogue and unforgettable characters, Wilson crafts a powerful, intimate portrait of artistry, identity, and control. Both electric and deeply human, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is a gripping exploration of faith, joy, and the cost of being heard.
