“This is a production that oozes tension. It draws you in from the very first scene, and you can feel yourself leaning forward, hanging on to the performers’ every word as you feel the show building towards its powerful climax…”

There's a lot that goes into bringing a story to the stage. And some of the most important work happens long before the curtain rises.

Behind Yale Repertory Theatre's production of August Wilson's “Ma Rainey's Black Bottom” is a team of Yale staff and students whose creativity and craftsmanship bring every scene to life.

From building sets and preparing props to lighting, sound, and stage management, take a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make the magic happen.

The final performance is this Saturday, October 24.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom • Yale Repertory Theatre at University
Theatre • New Haven, CT • Through October 24

A homecoming for August Wilson’s play, with gorgeous costumes and a commanding Maiesha McQueen. Her humor and powerhouse voice are the highlights of a revival that could use more energy in its musical scenes.

🎭✨THE BLUES. THE STYLE. THE LEGACY✨🎭

August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom @yalerep is more than a play. It’s a powerful story of racism, black artistry, exploitation and the fight for dignity! Behind the music lies a painful truth: the world 🌎 can profit from black creativity without respecting the people who create it! The blues carry generations of struggle, survival, and resistance. This is a story that challenges us to listen beyond the music and confront the history behind it.
