Ashley Bryan’s artful children’s book comes to life in this joyful concert for young audiences created by Georgia’s Alliance Theatre. Join Blackbird and his fantastic feathered band for a high energy concert of funk and soul music based on the beloved Maine author’s Coretta Scott King Award-winning book, Beautiful Blackbird.

Featuring original music composed by Eugene H. Russell IV and stunning costumes designed by Lex Liang, the Beautiful Blackbirds will have you on your feet clapping along with their funky rhythms as they celebrate the uniqueness of each of us. Shake your tailfeathers and dance to the music!
