The Color Purple musical to hit Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS - Nov. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- The Cupboard Inc. is proud to announce their upcoming Black History Month presentation of “The Color Purple” at the historic Athenaeum Theatre in downtown Indianapolis as a fundraiser for their non-profit organization. The Color Purple will run from January 31-February 9, 2014. Show times are 7pm with Sunday matinees starting at 5pm.

The Color Purple is an inspiring family saga that tells the unforgettable story of a woman who, through love, finds the strength to triumph over adversity and discover her unique voice in the world. The musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel (and the popular 1985 Steven Spielberg film) spotlights Celie, a downtrodden young woman whose personal awakening over the course of 40 years forms the arc of this epic story.

With a joyous score featuring jazz, ragtime, gospel, African music and blues, The Color Purple is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love and a celebration of life. The musical will feature some of Indianapolis’ most talented actors, dancers, singers and musician.

Proceeds from The Color Purple will go towards the 2014 launching of The Cupboard Inc’s mobile food pantry which will feed families in the greater Indianapolis community.  Sponsorships and group sales are also available and encouraged to promote philanthropy efforts throughout Indianapolis.
