About the Show
Born Blue is an existential rock and soul musical set in a post-apocalyptic dive bar somewhere between life and death, where lost souls drink the "Blue House Brew" — a drink whose purpose is not to intoxicate, but to flush away one's previous life experiences and prepare them for rebirth. Told in metaphor and myth, the piece explores the cycles of fear and prejudice surrounding sex, race, sexual orientation, and organized religion. Caren Tackett has described it as her own life experience refracted through that allegorical lens.
