Nina Simone: Four Women
By Christina Ham
Directed by Timothy Douglas
Kreeger Theater
November 10 – December 24, 2017

Velvet-throated songstress Nina Simone hypnotized audiences with her signature renditions of standards from the American songbook. But on September 15, 1963, a devastating explosion in Birmingham, Alabama rocked our entire nation to the core, and from the memory of the four little girls that were lost in this unimaginable tragedy, came “Four Women” — along with Simone’s other activist anthems like “Mississippi Goddam,” “Old Jim Crow” and “To Be Young, Gifted and Black.” Through storytelling and song, Nina Simone: Four Women reveals how this iconic chanteuse found her true voice — and how the “High Priestess of Soul” defined the sound of the Civil Rights Movement.

Nina Simone: Four Women runs approximately one hour and 45 minutes with no intermission. Please be advised this production utilizes atmospheric effects inlcuding haze and simulated explosions.
