Marie and Rosetta

Park Square Theatre
20 W 7th Pl St. Paul

The story begins in a funeral parlor in Mississippi, as Rosetta (played by Jamecia Bennett*) and her young protege, Marie Knight (played by Rajane Katurah Brown), prepare for a tour that will establish them as a great musical duo. Local musical powerhouses, Bennett and Brown earned rave reviews in THE WIZ at Children's Theatre Company. In this production, musical director Gary Hines from The Sounds of Blackness will help them shape memorable renditions of spirituals like "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" and "Sit Down," to distinctly non-religious songs like "I Want a Tall Skinny Papa."
