Blackfriars Theatre: the 75th Anniversary Season Presents EVERY BRILLIANT THING

Join Blackfriars Theatre for its 75th Anniversary Season, honoring the legacy of 75 years of ambitious, local, professional theatre in downtown Rochester presenting Every Brilliant Thing! What's It All About? If you were to make a list of things that make life worth living, what would be at the top? Family? Ice cream? The even-numbered Star Trek films? What if the list took on a life of its own? Every Brilliant Thing is a heartwarming, hilarious and compassionate play about depression, resilience, and the lengths we will go to for those we love. ”This play reminds us that seeking out the joys of life, especially those involving other people, can help us deal with the inevitable moments of fear, anxiety, anger or loneliness.” — Ashland News

Blackfriars Theatre: the 75th Anniversary Season Presents THE NOTEWORTHY LIFE OF HOWARD BARNES

Emotionally-repressed Howard lives a perfectly average existence, until the day he wakes up to discover that his life has become a musical. Desperate to escape, he teams up with aspiring actress Maggie, and the two embark on a fantastical quest. Equal parts satire and romantic comedy, The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes is a whimsical love letter about letting go of the past and learning to embrace the music. “The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes is a show for people who love musical theatre and their spouses who hate it.” —Playbill

Little Women

Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel comes to fresh life in this inventive, theatrical adaptation which follows as the March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – gather in the family attic. From making up fairy stories, writing for their pretend newspaper, and playing make believe, they graduate to scenes of love, loss, and – for Jo – artistic self-discovery, as they come of age against the backdrop of the American Civil War.

Nina Simone: Four Women

September 16, 1963. When Nina Simone heard that four Black girls had been killed in the bombing of the 16th Avenue Church in Birmingham, Alabama, her first impulse was to try and build a zip gun; instead she channeled her rage into “Mississippi Goddamn,” the song that marked the emergence of Nina Simone, the Civil Rights activist. Infused with traditional hymns along with songs including “Four Women,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” and “Young, Gifted and Black,” Nina Simone: Four Women looks at an artist and the women around her as their journey leads them down a path of discovery and healing.
