Side Man
March 13 - April 12, 2009
Playwright: Warren Leight
Director: Sharrionne Brown
Cast:
This award-winning play by Warren Leight pays tribute to a lost era of jazz and big bands, a time before the birth of rock n’ roll when jazz musicians were legends. Side Man is the story of Clifford, a young man and jazz musician, who recalls his tortured relationship with his parents. As the play moves seamlessly from the present to the past, Clifford struggles to give up the role he has assumed as ‘parent’ to his mother and father.
powerfully unsettling ... an enormously moving play
