MAY 12 - JUNE 4
The Umbrella Stage Company presents the musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer-winning classic novel, The Color Purple, and the 1985 film by Steven Spielberg. The inspirational story set in the early 1900s follows a young woman, Celie, as she journeys through her childhood experiencing joy, despair, anguish, sisterhood and self-realization to find her voice and power.
A story of hope and a testament to the healing power of love, the adaptation features Tony Award-winning score ranging in styles from jazz, ragtime, gospel, African music and blues.
This production is directed BW Gonzalez, who appeared at The Umbrella in last season’s The Colored Museum. Ms. Gonzalez has worked at theaters around the country including American Repertory Theater, American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, The Huntington Theatre Company, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She appeared in the recurring role of Lupe in the Netflix series, Arrested Development.
Opening May 12 and running through June 4, 2023 (press opening May 13, 3PM), this production features Shy’Kira Allen, Kai Clifton, Schanaya Barrows, Randell Benford, Yasmeen Duncan, Fatima Elmi, Crystin Gilmore*, Aaron Graham, Jordan Aaron Hall*, Sydney Jackson, Brian Demar Jones*, Nicole Franklin Kelley, Kayla Leacock*, Dashawn McClinton, Zachary McConnell*, Hanifa Nelson-Kamau, Aloura “Aeon” Smith and Treshor Webster.
