lrlem hauteur in Blues for An Alabama Sky
Hues is a beautiful shade
if lavender
ut one queeny gay guy— named Guy, in
this case— in a play with four hetero char
acters, and he’ll probably steal the show. In
ie case of Blues for an Alabam a Sky, Timothy
lcCuen Piggee does just that with his portray-
|il of Guy, the Harlem costume designer with
}ig time dreams. And while he earns plenty of
lughs for his preening and posing, Guy also
\as at his core a loyalty to his friends that adds
flepth and some serious notes to this fine play.
Piggee also gets to flaunt one fine wardrobe
In this story, set in 1930 as the Harlem Renais
sance succumbs to the national depression,
’iggee is terrific as Guy and manages to present
lim as a well-rounded character with strong
/alues, even if they are at odds with main
stream society.
Though the first act is mostly filled with
romance and lighthearted dreams, the second
and final act turns deadly serious as a stranger
from Alabama fails to accept the free-wheeling
latmosphere in which he finds himself. His
I repulsion fuels the dramatic twists at the end of
I the play.
Blues is playing through March 18 at the
I Portland Center for the Performing Arts. For
show times and prices, call (503) 274-6588.
