presents 
Satchmo at the Waldorf 
written and directed by Terry Teachout
Final production of the 2015 - 2016 season.

Palm Beach Dramaworks closes out its sixteenth season with Terry Teachout's funny and moving Satchmo at the Waldorf, in which the legendary Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong reminisces about and ruminates on his extraordinary life and career just months before his death in 1971. This production marks Teachout's debut as a director.Satchmo at the Waldorf opens at the Don & Ann Brown Theatre on May 13 and continues through June 12, with specially priced previews on May 11 and 12.  

There is no live music in this critically acclaimed, dramatic play.

Teachout, who is also the author of a biography on Armstrong, describes the piece as "a work of fiction freely based on fact." It's set at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the actual site of Satchmo's last gig, and takes place in his dressing room following a performance. As Armstrong talks into a tape recorder about his eventful life, he reveals the complex man behind the unpretentious public persona. Central to the play is his relationship with Joe Glaser, his white manager; and the derision he faced from a segment of the black community, embodied in the person of Miles Davis, for "kissing up to the white man" with his familiar grin and ever-present hankie. One actor plays all three roles.

Satchmo at the Waldorf stars Barry Shabaka Henley, who previously appeared in a Chicago production of the play. Scenic design is by Michael Amico, costume design is byErin Amico, lighting design is by Kirk Bookman, and sound design is by Matt Corey.

Terry Teachout is the drama critic of The Wall Street Journal, the critic-at-large of Commentary, and the author of "Sightings," a biweekly column for the Thursday Journalabout the arts in America. He also writes about the arts on his blog, About Last Night. Satchmo at the Waldorf, his first play, premiered in 2011 in Orlando, Florida, and has since been produced off-Broadway and throughout the United States. Teachout's latest book is Duke: A Life of Duke Ellington. His previous books include Pops: A Life of Louis ArmstrongAll in the Dances: A Brief Life of George Balanchine, and The Skeptic: A Life of H.L. Mencken. He has also written the libretti for three operas by Paul Moravec: The Letter (premiered by the Santa Fe Opera in 2009), Danse Russe (premiered by Philadelphia's Center City Opera Theater in 2011), and The King's Man(premiered by Kentucky Opera in 2013). A graduate of William Jewell College, Teachout played jazz bass professionally in Kansas City before becoming a full-time writer. He lives with his wife, Hilary, in New York City and Connecticut.

Palm Beach Dramaworks is a non-profit, professional theatre and is a member of the Theatre Communications Group, the South Florida Theatre League, Florida Professional Theatres Association, and the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County.

Why YOU should be promoting your club, venue, concert, festival, CD, tour, band or music related business with Jazz Blues Florida



LAST CALL FOR ADS AND FEATURE PLACEMENT ORDERS FOR THE JUNE 2016 ISSUE OF JAZZ & BLUES FLORIDA IS NOON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25.

This message may not directly apply to many receiving it but we thought it would be good to let the readers know about the impact they (you) are having on the Florida music scene by using Jazz & Blues Florida as an entertainment decision resource. Readers/followers/subscribers are what makes the whole thing work, and work well!

We will let the words of a client speak for us:
“I’m the person on the cover for October. It is October 6th today, meaning the magazine came out 6 days ago. My website monitors traffic, and I just checked that the traffic has increased 23% on a monthly average. That’s 6 days only. I can only imagine by the end of October. Furthermore, on this 6th day, I have so far received 2 calls for gigs, which will more than pay for what it cost me to advertise myself and my band. There is no “conspiracy” here. There’s no lowballing theft going on. There’s no trickery. This is business. Marketing and advertising at its best is what this is. I don’t feel offended by the business Charlie runs, neither should you!
