The show will have the audience be part of the action and journey back to the 1940's with the assistance of a live band in an evening of dining, drinking and dancing! The cast will interact with the audience in nightclub and bar scenes to allow you to be part of the story as patrons. So bring your dancing shoes!
The play is written and directed by Stephanie Lynn Wilson and stars China Colston as the torn chorus girl Fannie; Stacey Griffin as the smitten sailor JC; Marsha-Ann Hay as the materialistic chorus girl Doris; Santi Rodriguez as wiseguy/impresario Sammy G; Chuk Obasi as bartender/musician Buddy; and Stephanie Lynn Wilson as ex-chorus girl/barmaid Sassy.
