Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center presents:
Friday, March 5 . 8PM
UM DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE
THE BLUEST EYE
adapted by Lydia R. Diamond from the novel by Toni Morrison
directed by Walter Dallas
Pecola Breedlove, an 11-year-old African-American girl in 1940’s Ohio, wants nothing more than to be loved by her family and community. Instead, she faces persistent teasing and hatred. She blames her dark skin and prays for blue eyes, believing that love will come if she looks “right.” Pecola’s quest to be seen, to belong and to be loved unspools amidst the shocking weaknesses and surprising strength of the people who surround her.
