WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Playwrights Horizons continues their 1999-2000 season with the new musical The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin, created by the award-winning musical talents of Kristen Childs. This musical memoir traces the path of one Viveca "Bubbly" Stanton on her ride from stormy 1960s Los Angeles to the redemptive 1990s New York.

Running Time: 2 hours
