Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill recounts Billie Holiday’s life story through her poignant voice and moving songs. The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness of the greatest jazz singers of all-time, as she shares her loves and her losses, in a final performance, four months before her death. Among the songs that will be performed: “God Bless the Child,” “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” “Strange Fruit” and “Taint Nobody’s Biz-ness.”
Lady Day herself, will be portrayed by Wilmington Songstress LaRaisha DiEvelyn Burnette and the production is directed by Thalian Association Community Theatre’s Artistic Director, David T. Loudermilk. This exciting show is our third production in Duplin County and part of our outreach program to bring community theatre to all residents in southeastern North Carolina.
