Blues for an Alabama Sky

May 5/6 - May 5/28

Berlind Theater

In a Depression-era Harlem apartment building, a close-knit group of friends has become a chosen family. New roommates Angel and Guy — a recently fired blues singer and a promising costume designer with Paris in his sights — live across the hall from Delia, a social worker who sparks a relationship with the hardworking doctor Sam. Their lives are upturned when Southern newcomer Leland arrives and falls hard for Angel, who is torn between a stable life in New York City and an exhilarating overseas adventure with Guy. Angel chooses her path, but the decision leads to devastating consequences that shift the trajectory of everyone’s futures and long-held dreams.

Open House at 1PM on 5/20. Celebrate the opening of Traces on the Landscape. Learn more about the art on view with the exhibition curator Beth Gollnick. Opening May 20 at Art on Hulfish, Traces on the Landscape features contemporary artists who depict the natural world through experiences of the body, race, gender, and ethnicity. By drawing upon material histories, employing recording technologies both historical and current, and retracing the paths of earlier generations of photographers, these artists redefine our relationships to the landscapes we inhabit.
