Past Shows
| Ain't Misbehavin' | |
|
In the 1920's and 30's, in a time when Manhattan nightclubs like the Savoy Ballroom
where the playgrounds of high society, dives were filled with piano players banging out the
new beat known as swing. One such musician, a part of the Harlem Renaissance, was Thomas Wright
"Fats" Waller. Let us take you back as five performers present an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and
humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller's view of life as
a journey meant for pleasure and play.

holiday to a secluded castle in Italy is the next best thing to taking a vacation.
