Current Production

The Weissberger Foundation is thrilled to support the world premiere of Goddess at the Public Theater, with music and lyrics by Michael Thurber, book by Saheem Ali, and
additional book material by James Ijames,

A mysterious singer arrives at Moto Moto, a steamy Afro-jazz club in Mombasa, Kenya. She casts an entrancing spell on everyone, including a young man who has returned home from studying in America. Will the big plans for his life—stepping into a political legacy and marrying his fiancée—be upended? Inspired by the myth of Marimba, the Goddess who created beautiful songs from her heartbreak, this new musical is a rousing tale of romance, the supernatural, and the quest towards one’s truest self.
