LOCATION VICTOR SHARGAI THEATRE
DIRECTED BY RAYMOND O. CALDWELL

Detroit, 1949. Welcome to Paradise, a jazz club that’s seen better days. Blue, the club’s trumpet-playing owner is ready to leave this town and his family demons behind. But his house band and his best girl have dreams of their own, so when hardboiled widow Silver enters the picture looking for some business and some pleasure, Love, lust, and legacy collide in the fight for Paradise. Studio transforms the Victor Shargai theatre into a jazz club for Dominique Morisseau’s (Pipeline, Skeleton Crew) music-filled drama about resilience, self-preservation, and community.
