The Experience

Rediscover the magic of live theater during a performance of Imitation of Life, making its world premiere at The Shed. Your evening will begin with a private reception at Cedric's, the arts center's vibrant lobby bar, where you'll savor cocktails and bites. Then, you'll settle into your prime seats to see the new musical—with a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage; music and lyrics by EGOT winner John Legend; and direction by Tony Award–nominated Whitney White; and starring Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren. You'll be transported by this reimagining of the beloved story of two single mothers—one Black and one White—and their daughters who build a life together, chasing success and love by very different rules. Their stories ask what we sacrifice to be seen—and what we pass down to the ones who come after us. National Black Theatre, John Legend and Mike Jackson of Get Lifted Film Co., Liesl Tommy and Jennifer Mudge of Crocodile Eyes, Universal Theatrical Group (UTG), Sue Wagner, John Johnson, Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon of LD Entertainment, and The Shed serve as producers. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
