About the show: An inspiring family saga based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, adapted by Marsha Norman, music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Alee Willis and Stephen Bray . The Color Purple is the unforgettable story of two sisters who remain loyal to one another across time, distance, and silence. One of them, Celie, abused from a young age and estranged from her sister, is motivated by the free-thinking women she encounters to triumph over adversity and find her unique voice in the world. Set to a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues, this is a story rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life.
