The Women of Brewster Place - The Musical
6760 Lexington Ave. Los Angeles
The Women of Brewster Place - The Musical premiered in 2007 as a co-production between the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta and Arena Stage in Washington D.C., and is based on Gloria Naylor's beloved award winning collection of stories. Using an original score of R&B, pop, disco and old school funk, the musical tells the individual stories of eight very different African American women in a 1970's housing project who are struggling with issues of identity, poverty, hope, love and loss. Simultaneously comic and heartbreaking, wise and shortsighted, noble and flawed, each of the women must ultimately face the largest question of all − where does one's individual story end, and the story of one's community begin?
