Ashley Bryan’s artful children’s book comes to life in this joyful concert for young audiences created by Georgia’s Alliance Theatre. Join Blackbird and his fantastic feathered band for a high-energy concert of funk and soul music based on the beloved Maine author’s Coretta Scott King Award-winning book, Beautiful Blackbird. Featuring original music composed by Eugene H. Russell IV and stunning costumes designed by Lex Liang, the Beautiful Blackbirds will have you on your feet clapping along with their funky rhythms as they celebrate the uniqueness of each of us. Shake your tailfeathers and dance to the music!
Beautiful Blackbird Live! is presented in partnership with the Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival, Indigo Arts Alliance, Portland Ovations, and the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine (CMTM). Each unique, family-friendly experience is a theatrical adaptation of Ashley Bryan’s beloved children’s book Beautiful Blackbird. CMTM will present a stage play for the very young in September and October, and Ovations will present a lively concert in November, all in coordination with the Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival in September.
