A Chicago treasure!
This play was excellent the singing and acting was awesome
Just saw a truly fabulous theatre production on the complicated life of my name sake Etta James ( I'm Johnetta, dad's name was John & he liked Etta James music) between the music, dance, soul baring speeches, heartbreaking reflection & narrations that honored this lady. She not only survived, but she reinvented herself & thrived. Excellent Job Black Ensemble Theatre & creator Jackie.
I didn't see" Etta James" that's next. I saw" #BoboTheBully " with my kids class. Even though it's for kids the message is clear. Through song, dance, rap, and stomp they show how a bully is made and hopefully unmade. A little preachy at the end but still excellent! !! The message needs to get out so kids can stop injuring & killing each other. It speaks to all race, class,and gender. I hope this makes a #DeansList.
First time I rapped onstage. I've been addicted ever since.
Went labor day weekend and recommend highly seeing this production!
Been there three times and the staff is very professional and very sweet. Theatre is very personable and atmosphere is amazing.
