Ethel Waters<\/a> broke through the Jim Crow ceiling of recording studios, radio, musical theater and movies to become an inspirational legend. Written by Larry Parr, this show celebrates the life of Ethel Waters. The actress and recording star crossed racial barriers to win Grammy Awards, star in her own television show, and be nominated for Emmy and Academy awards. The title role of Ethel Waters will be portrayed by Broadway veteran and award-winning actress Jannie Jones.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capital Region audiences will remember Jones\u2019 acclaimed performances at theREP in Smokey Joe\u2019s Caf\u00e9, Crowns, Black Pearl Sings, and most recently A Night With Janis Joplin, where she brought the house down as Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. She won an Audelco Award for August Wilson’s Women as \u201cRose\u201d in Fences<\/em> and a Bay Area Theatre Critics Award as \u201cPearl\u201d in Black Pearl Sings<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very excited to be returning to Capital Rep; having done \u2018Crowns\u2019, \u2018Black Pearl Sings\u2019 and \u2018A Night With Janis Joplin\u2019 in past years,\u201d says Jones. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to look into the eyes of the warm and inviting audiences in Albany once again. I\u2019m simply delighted to work with the wonderful Maggie Cahill and I am very honored to be doing the first full production on the theatre\u2019s brand-new stage.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playwright Larry Parr\u2019s work has had hundreds of regional theatre productions. His trio of plays celebrating illustrious Black female artists, Hi-hatted Hattie, My Castle\u2019s Rockin\u2019 and Ethel Waters: His Eye Is On The Sparrow have each won numerous playwriting awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
