About this Event

Chicago, are you ready?

Cocoa Pearlesque Presents is back at the Newport Theater this Black History Month with the powerful, mesmerizing, all-black burlesque production: We're the Color Purple!

This is our second rendition of the iconic story, inspired by The Color Purple, but now told through the vibrant, sensual lens of burlesque. Join us as we bring Ms. Celie’s journey to life—her trials, tribulations, and her powerful voyage of self-discovery.

Over 40 years in the making, The Color Purple has captivated audiences as a novel, a movie, and a Broadway play. Now, we’re taking it to new heights with an unforgettable burlesque twist, celebrating resilience, love, and freedom!

Don't miss this epic opportunity to support an all-black cast and celebrate our history! It’s a story of the Black woman's struggle—our fight to be heard, our right to love freely, and our demand to be seen.

Mark your calendars: We're the Color Purple debuts February 7, 2025, at the Newport Theater. Time of the show 9:30. Get ready for a night where burlesque meets theater—an experience you do NOT want to miss!
