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. Join us 45 minutes before the showtime to order a cocktail at the Paradise bar, enjoy a live jazz performance, and even eavesdrop on Blue, Pumpkin, and the other denizens of the Paradise as they get the club ready for another show. You’ve been to productions at Studio that put you within feet of the action onstage. This time, you're right in the middle of it.
