LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL - Black Theatre Troupe - March 28-April 13, 2025




By Lanie Robertson

Helen K. Mason Performing Arts Center 

The time is 1959. From the bandstand of a seedy Philadelphia bar, just four months before her tragic and premature death, we watch Billie Holiday mesmerize one of her very last audiences. Throughout the evening, we listen to a collection of her best-known music and salty, often humorous reminiscences. A riveting portrait of a tortured soul, and a gifted musician whose life and genius were shaped by pain and anguish. 

Performaces at the Helen K. Mason Performing Arts Center in downtown Phoenix.
