The Boy Who Kissed the Sky

Written Idris Goodwin
Directed & Choreographed by Jade Lambert Smith
Music by Divinity Roxx and Eugene H. Russell IV
May 16 – June 8, 2025
REGIONAL PREMIERE

Set in the heart of Seattle to the rhythms that shaped a generation, The Boy Who Kissed the Sky is inspired by the early life and influences of musical icon Jimi Hendrix. In the early era of rock n roll music, we see a young Black boy conjure his creativity as a budding guitarist. Guided by the spirit of music itself, the Boy learns to find harmony inside the challenging noises of his life. Although more mythology than biography, The Boy Who Kissed the Sky is a celebration of our muses and the forces that pull us to be who we are. Told with vibrant music and daring imagination, this new family musical inspires us to dream big when it matters most.
