Welcome to the sultry, jazz-filled Paradise Club. It’s 1949 in Detroit, and Blue, a gifted trumpeter and owner of the once-vibrant nightclub, is ready to leave this town and his family demons behind. But where does that leave his devoted Pumpkin, who has dreams of her own? And what does it mean for the club’s resident band? When a seductive stranger enters the picture with plans of her own, everything is turned upside down, and the club’s makeshift family and their troubled bandleader find themselves fighting for the future of Paradise. From the Tony Award–nominated playwright of Ain’t Too Proud and Detroit ’67, this chapter of Morisseau’s three-play Detroit Project is a powerful noir-inspired, music-filled drama that explores ambition, loyalty, and the meaning of community.
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati has announced its 2026–2027 season, featuring Corner of the Sky: The Music of Stephen Schwartz, Paradise Blue, and Bad Dates: End Game.
