BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY
Philadelphia Premiere By Pearl Cleage Directed by Brett Ashley Robinson
February 12 – March 15, 2026
Harlem, 1930. The music is hot, and change is in the air. Angel is a talented singer looking for her big break, and her friend Guy wants to design costumes for Josephine Baker. When a southern stranger enters their lives, will he help them reach their dreams or destroy them? Pearl Cleage's drama of the Harlem Renaissance is mesmerizing, inventive, and soulful.
