November 3 – 22, 2011

It's America in 1963, with the turmoil of the JFK assassination and the civil rights movement. In a Jewish household in Louisiana, the divorced African-American maid and the eight-year old family son have their own worries and relationship. Virtually sung-through, in styles ranging from Motown to Yiddish Klezmer, Caroline, or Change brings together the incredible talents of Kushner (Angels in America) and Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie) to create a multi-Tony-nomination show that is about both major issues of the nation and personal issues of the household, and how they interact.
