Dreaming big: ‘Sweetee’ at Pershing Square Signature Theatre Center

“Sweetee” hits the stage at the Ford Studio at the Pershing Square Signature Theatre Center for a limited engagement from June 1 through June 18.

“Sweetee” is the musical story of an outcast minister, a young street singer, and a band of orphans in the 1930s Depression-era South. As they struggle to make music and find their place in a world amid bigotry and poverty, a tale emerges of spiritual triumph in the face of adversity and racism. Nothing comes easy … but dreams are big.

The production is suitable for families with children 10 years and older.

“Sweetee,” June 1 through June 18, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 8 pm; Wednesday at 2:30 pm and 8 pm; Saturday at 7:30 pm; and Sunday at 3 pm. Tickets are $65.

The Ford Studio at the Pershing Square Signature Theatre Center [480 W. 42nd St. between Ninth and 10th avenues in Hells Kitchen, (212) 279–4200; www.ticketcentral.com].
