Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill

Vintage Theatre
1468 Dayton Street Aurora

It's 1959 at Emerson's Bar and Grill in Philadelphia, where the audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday's last performances, just four months before her death. Many of her hit songs are interlaced with salty, often humorous reminiscences, creating a riveting portrait of a blues and jazz legend and her music. This production of Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill is part of an unprecedented collaboration between the DCPA and Vintage Theatre, and will star the first lady of Denver, Mary Louise Lee, as Billie Holiday. See this recreation of a singular night in music history, written by Lanie Robertson and directed by Betty Hart, in Aurora.
