Synopsis

Based on an award-winning novel, this hauntingly beautiful family story is set in rural Mississippi just after World War II. A black sharecropper, a well-liked and respected farmer, decides to paint his dilapidated tenant house white. His simple wish sets off passions and suspicions which gather like a summer storm, shattering family and community, and ending in a wrenching act of violence. The show is intensely dramatic, surprisingly funny, and musically rich. Americana, influenced by the blues, gospel, jazz and rock; as well as Copland, Arlen and Bernstein. https://agoodmanthemusical.net
