The delightful humor and infectious energy of this exuberant jazz revue takes us from the Harlem Renaissance through World War II; Waller’s work shows a determination to grasp life’s joys, laughter and passion, even in a community shadowed by the pain of a complex American society. With permission from the authors, PCS is creating an expanded-cast version of the original production."The play is recommended for ages 12+. Tickets are $15 (a bargain!). If you would like to attend, but can't afford the ticket, please talk to me.We will be taking the MAX downtown to Portland Center Stage. Expect to leave MEWA around 10:15 am and return around4 pm.
