Our Story
Brown Eyes: A New Musical is a bold reimagining and response to Ragtime the musical that pays homage to Black music throughout the ages. Brown Eyes is a love story wrapped-up in a futuristic sci-fi/thriller set in the year 2070. Sarah, an aspiring DJ, navigates in a dystopian future where Black folks (and other people of colour) mysteriously go missing. She just might find an escape with the help of her lover, J-Dub, a music producer. This fresh take explores themes of identity politics, class warfare, and Black resilience. We bring new depth and perspective to a popular story through an original score of Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B, DJing and a splash of Ragtime music of course!
