Taking place in the late 1950s in Philadelphia, only four months before Holiday’s untimely death, LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR AND GRILL gives a poignant and visionary look at the woman behind the music.
Featuring music direction by Grammy Award winner George Caldwell, the production offers cabaret table seating in a reimagined Smith Theatre. Set, lighting, and sound design are by Chris Cavanagh; costume design is by Kari Drozd; and hair and make-up design is by Susan Drozd.
