Hanesbrand Theatre Presents: Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

Support community theater at Hanesbrand Theatre during the last two weekends in February. Imagine it’s 1927, and Ma Rainey, also known as the “Mother of the Blues,” is recording updated versions of some of her classic songs in a run-down studio in Chicago. Passionate and headstrong, Ma Rainey battles to maintain authority over her music, even as her trumpet player, Levee, aspires to make a name for himself in the music industry.
