BWW Review: LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR AND GRILL at STAGES Theatre is A Wonderful Slow Burn
In a world where the Black Lives Matter movement is a focal point, and many organizations are changing their views on diversity, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill at STAGES Theatre in Montrose provides a glimpse of why equality is important. The title character's nickname of Lady Day, otherwise known as Billie Holiday, takes the audience on her life journey. While the origin story of her nickname is different, it brings to light a ton of trauma that women of color during her lifetime experienced. Played by the brilliant Dequina Moore, Moore brings Billie Holliday to life most playfully and tragically. As Moore dances, grooves, and moves about the stage, we see the character sip slowly into a stupor. In the beginning, we experience a bright and bubbly personality, and then the slow descent into a drunken stupor prevails, leaving the audience in an emotional daze. Moore provides a beautiful slow burn embodying Billie Holliday in her own uniquely passionate way.
THE ADVENTURES OF NATE THE GREAT Comes to Theatre Arlington
Main Street welcomes the area's brightest up-and-coming young actors in the first all-youth production of Theatre Arlington's 46th season, The Adventures of Nate the Great. These beloved children's books by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat were first introduced in 1972, and are brought to life in this stage adaptation by Pamela Sterling. Nate, a child's version of Sam Spade, and his faithful dog, Sludge, and his assistant Kate combine forces to solve their neighborhood's biggest mysteries. Although Nate is the first person his friends call when something goes missing or awry, he is never too busy to leave a note for his mother or wear his galoshes when it's raining.
