Ford’s Theatre Presents: Grace
About The Event
Packed with an eclectic mix of styles including jazz, R&B, rousing up-tempos and raise-the-roof ballads, Grace is an electrifying musical celebrating the perseverance of family and the power of traditions. Created by celebrated D.C. composer Nolan Williams, Jr., with a book by Nolan Williams, Jr., and Pulitzer-prize nominated Nikkole Salter, “Grace” examines the little-told history of African-American culinary tradition and the challenges faced by Black-owned businesses. 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. Heartfelt and hopeful, timely and timeless, Grace is the new American musical where, although family comes first, everyone has a seat at the table.
Recommended for ages 8 and older.
