About this Event

Missouri City goes to The Ensemble Theatre


The Edison Arts Foundation is partnering once again with the city of Missouri City, H-E-B, and The Ensemble Theatre as we celebrate 100 years of Black History Commemorations. In support of Houston's historic theatre, The Ensemble Theatre, we are offering our community discounted tickets to see classic stories and thought-provoking narratives shaped around Black History and Black Present. Join us Sunday, February 15, 2026 for Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye adapted for a play by Lydia R. Diamond, and directed by Eileen J. Morris.

LIMITED DISCOUNTED TICKETS AVAILABLE


About The Bluest Eye

Pecola Breedlove, a young Black girl in 1941 Lorain, Ohio, wants nothing more than to be loved and prays for Shirley Temple’s blue eyes. Enthralling, gorgeously written, and incredibly heartrending, this stunning adaptation of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winner Toni Morrison’s debut novel centers three young Black girls as they strive to make sense of abuse and hate.

WARNING:

Contains mature themes including bullying, sexual abuse, and incest.
