JAG Productions presents
LADY DAY AT EMERSONS BAR & GRILL
Starring Francesca Harper as Billie Holiday
Directed by Jarvis Antonio Green

Doors open 1 hour before performance. Food and drink available for purchase before and after the show, catered by Big Fatty's BBQ!

Set in a bar in Philadelphia in 1959, the show chronicles the final performance of the iconic African-American jazz singer, Billie Holiday, in which she shares stories about her stormy personal life, her battle with addiction and her ground-breaking vocal style. The play features a sensational score, including "God Bless The Child", "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" and "Strange Fruit."

The role of Billie Holiday will be played by New York-based performer Francesca Harper, whose impressive biography can be viewed here: https://www.broadwayworld.com/vermont/article/Francesca-Harper-To-Lead-LADY-DAY-AT-EMERSONS-[...]430
