From the City of Gaithersburg: In partnership with Ankh Repertory Theatre and The Finest!

Dreamgirls is a groundbreaking musical that takes place during a revolutionary period in American music history and gives audiences a behind-the-scenes look of the entertainment industry at the time. Loosely based on the career of The Supremes, three friends form “The Dreamettes” and learn hard lessons about love, trust and the changing tastes of the American public.

This performance concludes the Arts Barn’s 2016-2017 Uniquely American Signature Series, showcasing ordinary and extraordinary moments in time, place and people.
