This play with music by Christina Ham includes popular Civil Rights anthems such as “Mississippi Goddam,” “Go Limp,” “Young, Gifted, and Black,” and more.
Nina Simone: Four Women is set on September 16, 1963. The day after the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. This play with music uses the framework of one of the Civil Rights Era’s leading songstresses’ most blistering songs to give voice to a group of women suffering self-hatred due to the different hues of their skin. A journey that leads these four women through healing and transformation.
Broadway World sets Nina Simone: Four Women as “An eye opening, powerful, stirring, and unique theatrical experience. ” Director Ann James adds, "Nina Simone: Four Women is not like any other play I have directed and I am so excited to bring it to life in San Antonio. The blending of the characters' lives and the background of social change will take the audience on a remarkable journey. Live music written by one of America's Black treasures, Nina Simone: Four Women serves as a solid foundation that will thrill and move the story to its thrilling end. Come experience this play and you will meet the women that live among us all."
