red, black & GREEN: a blues

The Contemporary Arts Center is ending its successful third performance season with an ambitious and highly praised theater piece/performance work called red, black & GREEN: a blues, in which Marc Bamuthi Joseph and his fellow cast members bring stories of black America to the stage through narratives set in summer in Chicago, fall in Houston, winter in Harlem, N.Y., and spring in Oakland, Calif. The modular set — row houses made from repurposed materials — was designed by acclaimed visual artist Theaster Gates. 


8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. $23, $18 CAC members. Aronoff Center’s Jarson-Kaplan Theater, 650 Walnut St., Downtown, cincinnatiarts.org.
