We love that you’re following our page — thank you for rocking with us! 💛 Now it’s time to grab your tickets because BLUES FOR MAMA is coming to Florence, SC!

After a SOLD-OUT premiere in Charlotte, NC, this powerful production is headed to the FMU Performing Arts Center on March 14 at 7:30 PM — and you do NOT want to miss it!

✨ Blues for Mama is a drama set in 1980s Baltimore City. The story invites you to sit at the dinner table with five sisters and their mother as they surround the youngest, Coot, with love after she loses more than she can bear. It’s a story of heartbreak, mental health, sisterhood, and the kind of truth only family can hold.

Charlotte showed OUT — and Florence, we know you will too!🔥

🎟 Get your tickets now before they’re gone:
