Playing as part of the Balboa’s 100th anniversary festival! As the recipient of the First Annual Balboa Award, we will be spending all week long showcasing the illustrious career of the Oscar-nominated costume designer Aggie Rodgers.
Please consider joining us on Saturday, April 18th for our fundraiser celebration, where Rodgers will receive this inaugural award for her astounding lifetime of work.
Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey star in director Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple. From 1909 to 1949, Celie (Goldberg--Ghosts of Mississippi), a Southern Black woman, gradually gains self-respect as she strives to educate herself and to find love--despite an abusive spouse and a society biased against her race and her sex.
