Exclusive Interview With Bronzeville Producer Margaret Madhi

Video and Subsequent Written Interview with Kamau Austin With Margaret Madhi

We do an Exclusive Interview with Margaret Madhi, Producer and Director, of the groundbreaking musical, "Bronzeville," with the Mahdi Theatre Company.  Madhi is set to unveil “Bronzeville The Musical,” as a powerful homage to the historical significance of Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood, on November 16th and 17th at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York City.

This marked debut promises to captivate audiences with its moving portrayal of resilience, culture, and community. “Bronzeville The Musical,” chronicles the transformative journey of a father and his wayward teenage son as they navigate the complexities of their family’s heritage.

This poignant production weaves together themes of redemption and the importance of legacy, while poignantly reflecting on the Great Migration — a period during which millions sought new lives in the North. Through its rich narrative, the musical spotlights the vitality and artistry of Black history, showcasing the profound contributions of the Bronzeville community.

“This project was born from the urgent need to change the narrative surrounding urban Black youth,” said Producer and Director Margaret Mahdi. “Our artistic responsibility is to honor the legacy of those who came before us, especially in light of events like George Floyd’s tragic death and current migration challenges. ‘Bronzeville The Musical’ serves as a vital platform for ongoing discussions about identity and heritage.”

I was able to grab Margaret for a Quick Interview about her historic musical Bronzeville to be performed at the iconic Apollo Theatre.  Checkout her video and subsequent written Interview below...
