A Must See - Girl Shakes Loose at Penumbra

GIRL Shakes Loose


Zakiyyah Alexander and Imani Uzuri’s

GIRL SHAKES LOOSE
A powerful, coming-of-age musical and world premiere
Directed by May Adrales

Why is it so hard to grow up? GIRL is a good girl: smart, beautiful, and a little rebellious, or, as her family would say, “hard-headed.” For the most part, she has played by the rules, finishing college and then graduate school. She is perfectly poised for success, but something is in her way. Floundering in love, life, and career, GIRL goes on a journey to discover what she’s missing, but wherever she goes, there she is. Eventually, GIRL learns that what she’s seeking is herself: powerful, grounded, and so much stronger than she thought. A groundbreaking new musical by Zakiyyah Alexander and Imani Uzuri, GIRL Shakes Loose is the soulful story of one woman’s search for herself. Featuring the lush poetry of Sonia Sanchez and a stirring original score, you won’t want to miss this world premiere. Brimming with hope, humor, and headstrong passion, you’ll cheer GIRL on, remembering your own journey along the way.

John Jamison is one of the supporting members of a fantastic cast for Girl Shakes Loose.  Great songs and wonderful dance moments.

A meaningful and fun show.  Adult language and themes throughout.  Might be a adults' night out event.
