Beautiful The Carole King Musical

Beautiful The Carole King Musical

Olney Theatre Center

Before Carole King became the legendary singer-songwriter who helped define an era, she was a 16-year-old Brooklyn kid named Carole Klein trying to sell her songs to the big hitmakers in Times Square. When she meets a fellow Queens College student named Barry Goffin, she gains the perfect lyricist for her music - and the love of her life. Soon Carole and Barry are churning out hits like "Take Good Care of My Baby," "Up On A Roof, "and "Will You (Still) Love Me Tomorrow" for acts like the Shirelles and The Drifters. But success in music doesn't necessarily bring happiness, and as Barry spirals out of control, Carole will need to find the strength to take back control of her life and career.

Beautiful The Carole King Musical
The Colored Museum

The Colored Museum

Studio Theatre

The Colored Museum is a provocative and seriously funny tour of eleven "exhibits"-toxic narratives about Black American experiences. From confrontational to aspirational, morbid to triumphant, Wolfe's satiric sketches target America's most pernicious stereotypes of Black culture, looking to retire outdated exhibits and make room for the future. This innovative environmental production immerses the audience in George Wolfe's 1986 classic about the grief, madness, and hope of Black life. This production will be a one-of-kind collaboration between two members of the Studio Theatre Cabinet: Director Psalmayene 24 (Pass Over, Good Bones) and designer Natsu Onoda Power (Vietgone, Astro Boy).
