Black Pearl Sings!

Florida Studio Theatre, Tampa

About the Show

A search for undiscovered folk music leads Susannah, an ambitious “song collector,” to an African-American prisoner. Pearl holds a treasure-trove of unrecorded slave-era music, but can she hand over her ancestors’ songs without giving up something of herself? The legacy of the past and hope for the future clash in this gripping new play, featuring great American folk tunes.
