August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

In this play, audiences are transported to a run-down Chicago recording studio, where the famous “Mother of the Blues” is set to record her newest album. Much more than just music goes down in this riveting drama from August Wilson. This play contains themes of racism and includes racial slurs (the N-word), strong profanity, acts of violence, intimate moments of kissing, and discussions about sexual content. Recommended for teens and up, but use your parental discretion.
