“Po Chile” Celie labors with a broom in her hand and fear in her heart, waiting for her missionary sister to answer her letters. Inspired by defiant, sassy Sophia, Celie finally emerges from a life of abuse. Then “Queen honeybee” Shug Avery ushers Celie into a world of love. Celie got a voice! And it’s beautiful! Black American music, from gospel and jazz to soul and Motown floods the theatre as we all celebrate how Celie learns to “wear the pants.”
