It's a musical about having the right to choose who you want to be, in a country so riven by tribalism that improvising a new racial persona can seem the most subversive act imaginable.
The Washington Post
Coming to the Paper Mill Playhouse in spring 2024 is this extraordinary tale based on a legend from book writer Angelica Cheri's own family!
The story of her white-passing ancestors Mary and Martha Clarke, new musical Gun & Powder charts their journey across Texas in the late 19th century, where they used their biracial identity to their advantage, heading on a crime spree to raise money for their sharecropper mother.
With a soundtrack that fuses jazz, blues, soul, and more, this exhilarating musical shines a light on these remarkable women and their radical approach, while exploring the nature of 'passing' and it continues to impact people of color to this day.
