Caroline, or Change

Theatre Three presents the world of a black maid working for a well-to-do Louisiana family. On the national stage, the era of civil rights is playing out: Dr. King, freedom rides, Supreme Court debates, and church bombings. But underdog Caroline is playing out the right and wrong of all that in the laundry room of the nice people she works for. The young son of the family, estranged from his new stepmother, relies on her. Can Caroline square her dreams with the boy's as her own life changes with the times? A superb musical score floods the stage with all the passion of those momentous times in this great new musical.

Previews begin on May 31, and the hooky matinee takes place on Wednesday, June 27. Call 214-871-3300 or buy tickets online.
