Black Ensemble Theater continues its 2018 season (“Movers and Shakers”) with Women of Soul (With a Tribute to the Queen), written and directed by Black Ensemble Theater Associate Director Daryl D. Brooks, whose hits with the company include Men of Soul.
Women of Soul will be performed at the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, 4450 N. Clark St., beginning Oct 20, with an unlimited run.
The previously announced production of A Revolution in Rhyme has been postponed and will be produced at a later date this season.
Women of Soul guides us through the life of some of the most powerful women in soul music, including Chaka Khan, Diana Ross and Teena Marie—with a special tribute to Aretha Franklin.
Tickets are $45 each for previews (Oct. 20-21, 26-27), $55 (Saturday matinees) and $65 (Fridays, Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees); visit BlackEnsemble.org.
