I'll Be Damned If...

Written by: Cherie Williams
Directed by: Calvin J. Walker 

Carlean is a young girl from Detroit’s 8 Mile who dreams of a life beyond her neighborhood. She finds an exciting journey with the famed Arthur Bragg’s Idlewild Revue. As she joins the show as one of its glamorous Fiesta Dolls, she discovers her talents, finds her voice, and falls in love. From her love, she grows more and finds the strength to overcome obstacles and challenges she never thought she’d have to endure. This is not only a celebration of Black artistry and entrepreneurship but also of a woman’s legacy fueled by resilience, determination, and love. A play celebrating the life and legacy of Idlewild, the legendary Black resort community known as the "Motown before Motown." This new work, developed through Jubilee Theatre's New Works program, highlights the indomitable spirit of a woman who defies all odds to keep her dream alive.
