Bringing fierce guitar playing and swing to gospel music, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a legend in her time — and a major influence on icons like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, and Ray Charles. Marie and Rosetta chronicles the first rehearsal between Rosetta and her young protégée, Marie Knight, as they prepare to embark on a tour that would establish them as one of the most unforgettable duos in American music history.

With powerhouse performances from Jamecia Bennet as Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Chaz Hodges as Marie Knight, this musical adventure is filled with roof-raising gospel, heart-stirring blues, and an inspiring story of friendship, faith, and fearless artistry. Don’t wait to get your tickets!
