2 tickets to Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Jan 18-30, 2011.

A searing drama, pulsing with music and tension.
In this searing drama that pulses with the Blues, the legendary Ma Rainey and her band make music and
deals in a 1927 Chicago recording studio as they contend with thwarted ambitions, the demands of their
producers and the stifling realities of cultural divides. Inspired by real-life Mother of the Blues Gertrude
“Ma” Rainey, this groundbreaking work is part of Wilson’s Tony Award-winning Century Cycle, a series of
plays that explores African American life in the 20th Century.
