I’m thrilled to announce that Satchmo at the Waldorf, my first play, will be transferring directly from Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven to Philadelphia’s Wilma Theater, one of America’s top regional companies, where it will open on November 16 and run through December 2.
Needless to say, the Wilma is mounting the same production of Satchmo at the Waldorf that was first seen earlier this year at Shakespeare & Company and will be opening at Long Wharf on October 3. John Douglas Thompson is the star, Gordon Edelstein the director.
If you haven’t seen Satchmo, come. If you have, come again.
