Join us in the LAB for a special first glimpse of a musical in the making, the first of Fisher Center LAB’s Civis Hope Commissions. Replete with dancing bears and bags of luck, and set on the day after the Emancipation Proclamation, Jubilee joyfully asks what the world might become when all people are truly free. Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks has drawn inspiration from Scott Joplin’s 1910 ragtime opera Treemonisha to create a magical, hilarious, and timely fable about a young woman who leads her community out of adversity and into a new way of being.
