Black Pearl Sings! produced by Spinning Tree Theatre
Spinning Tree Theatre proudly presents the Kansas City premiere of local playwright Frank Higgins' BLACK PEARL SINGS!
Susannah, a song collector for the Library of Congress, travels the country seeking little-known melodies. When she encounters Pearl in a Texas prison, she discovers a musical treasure trove rooted in the African tradition. Pearl must decide whether or not to give away her ancestors' songs for a chance at her own freedom. Music unites strangers in a powerful story that explores America's racial divisions and the attempts of two women to bridge them.
"Reaches into the soul of a nation and pulls at the heart and mind...involving and emotionally charged." Herald Tribune
