The Bluest Eye

Feb 21-Mar 23

By Lydia Diamond, based on the novel by Toni Morrison
Directed by Eric Ting

Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison’s heart-wrenching masterpiece is a haunting and tragic portrait of a black girl’s coming of age in the racially turbulent 1940s. Eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be beautiful, so that people will love her, so that her world will be different.

“This story commands attention, for it contains one black girl’s universe.” —Newsweek

“The finest novelist of our time.” —Vogue
