Caroline, Or Change
September 19 - October 12 , 2008
 

 ABOUT THE PLAY

Caroline, Or Change
Book & lyrics by Tony Kushner, Music by Jeanine Tesori
An exciting coproduction with Karamu House


September 19 - October 12, 2008
This groundbreaking musical with a cast of 17 actors and 8 musicians revisits the early 1960’s, a period of sweeping change in race relations as it affects two families: a Southern Jewish and an African American family. The Gellman's son, Noah, worships Caroline, their dignified African American domestic, as a surrogate mother figure. Noah and Caroline’s tentative and touching relationship is at the heart of this powerful story, infused with an exhilarating mix of music: classical, R&B, Motown, Klezmer, and Negro spirituals.
