Seattle Rep: How did the idea for a musical portrait on rock musician Sister Rosetta Tharpe come about?

ANGELA NICKERSON Cheryl L. West: I had a copy of Gayle Wald’s book, Shout, Sister, Shout!, when it was first published around 2007 and I immediately thought it would make a great theatrical project. I mentioned it to a few theaters but didn’t get any takers. Fast forward to 2015. I was doing another workshop at Arena Stage where I met [director] Randy Johnson. I learned that he had Cast and crew in rehearsal for Shout Sister Shout! recently acquired the theatrical rights to Gayle’s book! I had to mention how I loved the Rosetta Tharpe story. A few weeks later, he called and asked, “Do you want to work on a ‘Shout’ musical with me?” So, in a sense, it took a decade, but I finally got the opportunity to write the Rosetta story. Carrie Compere in rehearsal for Shout Sister Shout! SR: What moments from Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s life as a black woman trailblazer did you feel were most important to show in this production?

CLW: Oh, there were so many. Rosetta lived a rich, complex life, but a life often starved of understanding and shrouded in loneliness. It’s a challenge to encapsulate such a flamboyant life in two hours. She was a musical prodigy, learning to play piano and guitar starting at four years of age. Like my family, Rosetta was Southern-born and Christian-raised. She loved music, often blending jazz, blues, and gospel, much to the chagrin of gospel purists. Her love of all music and her refusal

Basic ingredients: dogged curiosity, a rather devil’s music. For me, it was important to show a woman living empathic imagination, and a willingness to always employ that out loud, a woman who was joyful, bold, and ambitious despite pesky question, "What if?" After which I proceed to throw in my enormous criticism and searing heartbreak. Rosetta blazed favorite theme ingredients – the mysteries of family, identity, her own path, influencing and inspiring many in the process. ethnicity, and how any one or more might ricochet against By telling her story, I’m hoping an entire new generation and contemporary American society. Upon simmer, I taste and stir in fan base will come to appreciate the gifts she gave us through an element of surprise, a few thrills, a bit of whimsy, then cover her musicianship. I hope her story it with a lot of love and massive empowers some other young person revisions. Eventually, after silencing to make the music they hear in their the inner critic, I offer up my creation soul and the bravery to then share to the world. And that’s my recipe for it with the world.

My What do you hope audiences feel upon leaving the theater? first show at Seattle Rep was Holiday Heart in the early 90s. CLW: Like Rosetta, I want to leave an audience with joy Doug Hughes and Dan Sullivan were the organization’s leaders and perhaps a deeper realization that there’s power in love, at the time.
