Blues for an Alabama Sky
2025-02-08 - 2025-03-09 | The John Hand Theater, 7653 E Ist Place Denver, Denver, Colorado, 80230
Presented by Lowry Foundation Starbright Community Grant recipient, The John Hand Theater and Firehouse Theater Company
It is the summer of 1930 in Harlem, New York. The creative euphoria of the Harlem Renaissance has given way to the harsher realities of the Great Depression. The play brings together a rich cast of characters who reflect the conflicting currents of the time through their overlapping personalities and politics. Set in the Harlem apartment of Guy, a popular costume designer, and his friend, Angel, a recently fired Cotton Club back-up singer, the cast also includes Sam, a jazz-loving doctor at Harlem Hospital; Delia, an equally dedicated member of the staff at the Sanger clinic; and Leland, a recent transplant from Tuskegee, who sees in Angel a memory of lost love. Invoking the image of African American expatriate extraordinaire, Josephine Baker as both muse and myth, Cleage’s characters struggle, as Guy says, “to look beyond 125th Street” for the fulfillment of their dreams. — Dramatists Play Service

We’ll examine poetic devices in both songs and poems. Expect plenty of music through audio and video as we dive into the work of some of the best songwriters of the 20th century!
