Coming Home – The Musical Play

KMI Productions and Media With Mo present the acclaimed original production Coming Home: The Musical Play at The Arts Guild in Charlottetown from July 2–4.

Blending the emotional power of jazz, blues, and opera, Coming Home honours the voices and legacies of three iconic Black women: Nina Simone, Josephine Baker, and Jessye Norman. Through music, storytelling, and performance, the production takes audiences on an emotional journey through struggle, triumph, activism, artistry, and international stardom.

More than a musical, Coming Home is a celebration of resilience, identity, and the unbreakable spirit of Black women whose artistry transformed culture and history. The production highlights the enduring impact these trailblazing women continue to have on generations of artists and audiences around the world.

Coming Home is written and directed by award-winning Toronto-based artist and filmmaker, KhaRå Martin, who also stars as Josephine Baker. Martin is the host of Black Community Mixtapes (CityTV/OYA Media Group). Her work has been featured at TIFF Next Wave, CineFAM Film Festival, and CBC Gem. As a playwright and director, she continues to tell stories that center the voices and experiences of Black women in Canada and beyond.

The Toronto-based cast features Precious Osarenkhoe as Nina Simone and Christina Smith as Jessye Norman, alongside a creative team that includes Executive Producer Monique Armstrong (Media With Mo) and Bianca Garcia.

Doors open at 7:30 pm. Showtime is 8 pm.
