From DC Metro Theater Arts: Politics, whether personal or political often divides us. These differences come to light when two women with out-sized personalities meet in Depression-era Texas in a prison: Susannah Mullally (Teresa Castracane) is a White Musicologist who works for the Library of Congress, she’s a woman “who gets things done!” She has no children. Alberta “Pearl” Johnson (Roz White) is a Black prisoner for the last 10 years, in for murder; she has a 22 year-old daughter in Houston. Featuring 19 songs, Black Pearl Sings! by playwright Frank Higgins, which runs through May 29th at MetroStage in Alexandria, Virginia, is not only an exploration of the strong personalities of these two women slicing into and reconciling with one another, it is a musical display of fine singing that moves the heart and instructs. With celestial voices, Castracane and White are two incandescent stars that have created an exceptional two-woman musical.
