Paradise Blue

A Regional Premiere. When Blue needs to just get things out, he picks up his trumpet and lets it sing. His jazz club, Paradise, was once the place in Detroit’s Black bottom neighborhood—until the day Silver, a mysterious woman with a walk that drives men crazy, shows up with her own ideas for Paradise and turns everyone’s world upside down. Dynamic, sultry, and spiced with humor, Paradise Blue is a new American classic you’ll want to experience. This dynamic and musically-infused drama shines light on the challenges of building a better future on the foundation of what our predecessors have left us. Written by Dominique Morisseau.
