Area Premiere!
Tony Kushner's (Angels in America) ground-breaking Tony Award winning new musical tells the story of the Gellman family and their black maid Caroline in New Orleans during the dawning of the civil rights movement. 10 year old Noah Gellman is enamored with Caroline. When Noah's stepmother decides to teach him a lesson by telling Caroline she can keep the pocket change Noah leaves behind in his pants pocket, "Change" becomes about more than money. An elegantly crafted and powerful new work packed with a soulful and inspirational score.
