Review: LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR AND GRILL at Syracuse Stage
What did our critic think of LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR AND GRILL at Syracuse Stage? Syracuse Stage follows its one woman tour de force, What the Constitution Means to Me, with Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, an equally challenging one woman production that is similarly structured and almost begs to be compared and contrasted with their season opener.
