Bonus Episode Alert! Survival Jobs Co-Host Samantha Tuozzolo is live at the "Illinoise" Gala! Featuring interviews with Director/Choreographer Justin Peck and the stars and production team of the show.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Direct from two critically acclaimed sold-out engagements, and nominated for the Tony, Drama League, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical, Illinoise has arrived on Broadway for a strictly limited engagement. “The majestic future of Broadway” (Los Angeles Times) is here.
Based on the landmark Sufjan Stevens album, Illinoise “springs to epic life onstage” (The Washington Post) in a “mysterious, deeply moving and unforgettable dance-musical” (The New York Times) directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Justin Peck.
Peck and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury have crafted an original story that takes the audience on “an emotionally supercharged” (The Hollywood Reporter) journey. A group of friends gather around a campfire and tell tales of family, myth, and growing up, inspiring one young man to finally share his powerful story of first love. Through a unique blend of live music, dance, and theater, “Illinoise explores the hot zone between childhood and adulthood when emotions can be at their most overwhelming” (The New York Times).

Bonus Episode Alert! Survival Jobs Co-Host Jason A. Coombs islive on the red carpet at The Black Theatre Coalition Inaugural Gala from Monday, February 12, 2024! Featuring interviews with special guest performer Bebe Winans and special guest attendees including La Chanze, Soshana Bean, Reggie Van Lee, Malena Belafonte, David Belafonte, Jonathan McCrory, Kevin Boseman, Laura Benanti, Alexa Smith, Sade Lythcott, Irene Gandy, Warren Adams, T.

The Black Theatre Coalition was founded by T. Oliver Reid, Warren Adams and Reggie Van Lee during the Summer of 2019. They identified the disparity between the growing inclusivity onstage, versus the almost non-existence of Black professionals off stage. Black Theatre Coalition officially filed as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in June of 2020.
Black Theatre Coalition’s mission is to remove the “illusion of inclusion” in the American Theatre by building a sustainable ethical roadmap that will increase employment opportunities for Black theatre professionals.
For more information about the Black Theatre Coalition, visit their website: https://blacktheatrecoalition.org/.
