Ensemble Theatre Company at The New Vic
Step into the vibrant, soul-stirring world of rock legend Janis Joplin. This music-driven theatrical event creates an immersive experience, allowing audiences to feel the “ferocity that seems to tear at her own throat” (LA Times) that defined Joplin’s sound.
Created and Written by Randy Johnson
Co-Directed by Mary Bridget Davies and Brian McDonald
Mary Bridget Davies, reprising her critically acclaimed role, brings to life not just the chart-topping hits like “Piece of My Heart” and “Me and Bobby McGee,” but also the crucial voices of blues and soul – Odetta, Aretha Franklin, Bessie Smith, Nina Simone, and more – who shaped Joplin’s artistry.
It’s a “thrilling and heartbreaking” (Huffington Post) journey into the pain and passion behind the music, a true “revelation” of a voice that transcended time.
A Night with Janis Joplin is 2 hours and 10 Minutes with an intermission and is recommended for ages 13 and up.
