Three Little Birds
Adapted to stage by Micheal J. Babbitt, Music & lyrics by Bob Marley, Based on a story by Cedella Marley
Three Little Birds is a musical for young audiences featuring the music of Bob Marley, and the history and traditions of Jamaica. Based on a childrens book by the same name, written by Cedella Marley. This performance was held in a black box theater, allowing for up close interaction between the performers and audience members. The lobby into the theater also featured a display that gave a little more insight into the characters and story elements from Jamaican history.
