Black Pearl the Josephine Baker Story is great entertainment. I highly recommend it.

Our first visit to the Black Ensemble Theatre was magnificent. Black Pearl is an ambitious play as depicting Josephine Baker's story in song and dance is asking a lot. But the acting, singing and dancing was up to the task. The theatre itself is modern and comfortable. Great show in a great venue. We'll be back.

Saw Tribute to Josephine Baker last night. So lovely! Very talented artists at work. And now, I'm tempted to craft my own banana skirt. �
