The Color Purple

May 19-22, 26-29

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. This 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.

Sponsors: Colson Family Law, P.A., Jody A. Greene, P.A. and Alvarez & Wallace, P.A.

Godspell

Mar 31 – Apr 10

Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), and it took the world by storm. Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including the hit song “Day by Day,” along with “Turn Back O’ Man,” “All for the Best” and many others

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life.

Godspell is directed by Bill Ivins and under the musical direction of Solomon Johnson. Performances run two weekends starting March 31 through April 3 and April 7 through the 10th. All shows are at 7:30 p.m., except the Sunday matinees which are at 2:30 p.m. 

Tickets are available by calling the box office 904-277-3455 or online at. 904TIX.  Amelia Musical Playhouse 1955 island Walkway, Fernandina Beach
