Geechie Anne Productions Presents- Penthouses & Back Alley Ways. A classic evening Heightening the experience the art of Jazz Music can provide. New York Singer/Songwriter and Former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Principle Dancer Raquelle Chavis Hits the Stage like nobody does; with a Poetic, Exciting, Deep and Masterful Production that challenges old concepts, and arrangements that celebrate the genre of Cool. A new and exciting Production featuring the music of: Ray Noble, Betty Carter, Oscar Brown Jr., Chick Corea, Nat Adderly, Antonio Carlos Jobim and so many more… One could describe this show as a Jazz “Mix Tape.” Eighteen Music Works, travel the stage through several eras, and styles of the genre, in three Acts, presented in a Stellar and Theatrical way. World Renowned Musicians: Andy Lutter on Piano from Germany, Bassist Lonnie Plaxico from New York, Leandro Pellegrino on Guitar from Brazil, and Benjamin Johnson on Drums and Percussion from Atlanta share the stage with the electrifying Ms. Chavis. This is a night at the Theater, with an emphasis on “Show”- Penthouses & Back Alley Ways is a Jazzy Jaunt. A Musical Love Letter honoring swing and style, those two indispensable things Jazz is made of. Truly A Performance Not To Be Missed!

One Night, Two Fairview Authors at the Fairview Library
Interactive workshop for adult beginners wishing for a stage to shine on (or behind), with a scriptwriting lesson and mock auditions using scenes from the feature script ‘BILLIE’S SONG, AN URBAN FAIRY TALE’.
This fun lesson and opportunity to get up perform is an introduction to the ‘BILLIE’S SONG’ Theatrical Readings Project being planned for Spring 2023. The script has half Black characters and half White (with a few roles that can be other). For the theatrical readings we will be recruiting community members from diverse neighborhoods to be both cast and creative team, with wardrobe, props, and set pieces all obtained in a community scavenger hunt or created by community members. The goal will be to rotate performance locations, from an art gallery to a church to a public housing community center to a storefront business, to draw-in people who wouldn’t normally turn out together.
Script Synopsis: Billie, a struggling working-class Black actress estranged from her family, becomes involved with Benjamin, an emotionally conflicted wealthy white man angling to secure a leadership position he has on a probationary basis. Initially, Billie and Ben amuse, then need and support each other. But the differences in their communities—and the personal demons they don’t reveal to each other—eventually put them up against each other in a potentially violent fight for survival (for Billie physical survival, for Ben spiritual vs face-saving survival).
“I think the script is wonderfully written, well-paced, fun, and serious without taking itself seriously. I especially love the ending!” – Erin Clare, Story Parlor founder, formerly Creative Director of the Austin Film Festival and its Writer Conference
Led by Trayce Gardner (Writer/Teacher/Guerilla Filmmaker/Community Organizer) and recent refugee from Brooklyn, NY, where she taught beginning scriptwriting and short filmmaking classes for seven years at New York City College of Technology’s Continuing Ed.
