Blue Heaven—A Soul-Stirring Celebration of the Blues at Black Ensemble Theatre




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic OLLI members and a guest are invited to attend a wild, heart-shaking ride through the power of the blues. Blue Heaven is a fierce, funny, and deeply moving new production that takes you on a journey from shame to redemption, from heartbreak to healing, one unforgettable song at a time.

Fueled by the legendary sounds of B.B. King, Big Mama Thornton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf, this show doesn’t just entertain, it electrifies. With powerhouse performances, raw emotion, and a whole lot of soul, Blue Heaven proves that the blues isn’t just music, it’s medicine.

Whether you’ve lived the blues or just love them, this is your invitation to laugh, cry, reflect, and rejoice.

Let the music move you. Come find your Blue Heaven with your fellow OLLI members. Feel free to bring a friend!
