SUMMARY:Paradise Blue
DESCRIPTION:This dramatic drama by Dominique Morisseau unravels a story about a Detroit neighborhood called Black Bottom\, at the heart of a club district called Paradise Valley\, where a trumpeter called Blue runs a joint they called Paradise\, where he fronts a quartet whose sidemen include a drummer called P-Sam and a pianist called Corn. \nThe bassist has quit\, perhaps because his name was just Joe. With a cleverly designed set\, a steamy plot\, and characters that are hard to forget\, the film-noir-influenced “Paradise Blue” is a riveting and moving play centering on Detroit’s Club Paradise\, a combination jazz club and boarding house that has a lot of conflict. \nThere is conflict between band members\, conflict between Blue\, the owner\, and a woman he loves\, and a woman he despises. These hostilities are accompanied by the inner conflicts of each character\, which intensify as the plot unfolds.

SUMMARY:Wedding Band
DESCRIPTION:Village Rep and Threshold present this spell-binding story by one of the most important playwrights of the 20th Century\, Alice Childress. \nWedding Band – written with great precision and powerful storytelling – gives an emotional portrayal of a relationship between a Black seamstress\, Julia\, and a white baker\, Herman\, in the shadow of the First World War and the 1918 flu epidemic in Charleston\, South Carolina.
