Veils: The Musical by Steven A. Butler, Jr.

The Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center (BHERC) has teamed with Restoration Stage (Washington, D.C.) to bring the popular musical Veils by Steven A. Butler, Jr., directed by Courtney Baker-Oliver, and music and lyrics by Courtney Baker-Oliver & Christopher John Burnett, back to Los Angeles.

So much has been written about the men lost in the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter movements. Unexplored, however, are the stories of the women whose lives are affected by these tragedies—the women who wear the “Veils.” This musical is described as “an emotional historical pageant of grief and resilience, that pays tribute to women veiled in mourning, with a focus on Black lives lost in bloodshed during the sixties Civil Rights Movement.”

Featuring: Desire’ Dubose, Andrea Gerald, Corisa Myers, Kandace Foreman, Suli Myrie, Ayana Ogunsunlade, Brandyn Ashley, Bernie Alston, Nikki Dade, David Lamont Wilson, Jen Ayer Drake, Bridget Garwood, & Steven A. Butler, Jr.*
