CRITIC’S PICK: Abortion, birth control, Prohibition and homosexuality are all topics in Pearl Cleage’s landmark play, first seen in 1995, and set in Depression-era Harlem.
“Cleage isn’t afraid to wear her theater geekery on her sleeve, stuffing an old-fashioned melodrama with sly winks to Ibsen and Tennessee Williams, but the issues she addresses are freshly resonant in a new depression rife with social conservatism,” Claire Armitstead wrote in The Guardian in 2022.
The cast features Tiffany Denise Hobbs, Christopher Hampton, Jontavious Johnson, and Kenisha Johnson, and they are directed by Amanda Washington. — Kevin C. Madigan

Blues for an Alabama Sky
Amid the creative swirl of the Harlem Renaissance, a close-knit group of friends find themselves at a crossroads. Angel, a recently fired and newly single Cotton Club singer, is faced with choosing between a Parisian life of adventure with her costume designer friend Guy and a stable marriage with Leland, a suitor who has just arrived in New York from down south.
