This summer, I had the opportunity to be a part of True Colors Theatre Company's Chasin' Dem Blues. The musical stars Maiesha McQueen, Brad Raymond, Jeremy Cohen, and Anthony David.
Kevin Ramsey is the very talented writer and director behind this production. He tells the story of how the Wisconsin Chair Company became Paramount Records. Legends such as Ma Rainey were artists on this label. The company sold race records during the 1920's and 1930's until the great depression hit.
Chasin' Dem Blues is playing now through August 9th at the Southwest Art Center in Atlanta. It was originally scheduled to end August 2nd, but it has been extended. Shows are selling out fast so don't miss your chance to see this great musical production.
I was able to sit in on the rehearsals and assist the stage manager, wardrober, and the cast backstage during the shows. It was a wonderful chance for me to learn more about the theatre and I'm glad that I was given this opportunity to do so.
