Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill

The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday’s last performances interlaced with salty, often humorous, reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music four months before her death. Featuring more than a dozen songs, including several of Holiday’s best-known tunes like “God Bless the Child” and “What a Little Moonlight Can Do.” Sponsored by Presby Transportation Museum Performance Dates: July 13, 17, 20, 30 & August 5, 15 Written by Lanie Robertson
