Grace

Timely, heartfelt and hopeful, Grace examines the little-told history of African-American culinary tradition and the challenges faced by Black-owned businesses. Created by D.C. composer Nolan Williams, Jr., with a book by Williams and Pulitzer-prize nominated writer Nikkole Salter, the musical captures a day in the life of the Mintons, a Philadelphia family who gather to mourn the loss of their matriarch and deal with the future of their family restaurant in a changing neighborhood. Packed with an eclectic mix of styles including jazz, R&B, rousing up-tempos and raise-the-roof ballads, Grace celebrates the perseverance of family and the power of traditions.
