BREAKDOWN

PARADISE BLUE

SYNOPSIS: Detroit, 1949. Welcome to Paradise Club, a jazz joint that’s seen better days. Trumpet-playing owner Blue hears the promise of city developers and the chance to outrun his demons. But if he sells, where will that leave his house band or his best girl, who has dreams of her own? So when hardboiled widow Silver sashes into Paradise looking for some business and some pleasure, this makeshift family find themselves on different sides of the fight for Paradise. From Studio favorite Dominique Morisseau (Pipeline, Skeleton Crew), a music-filled play about community, resilience, and finding your own music.

SEEKING:

[BLUE] Black man, 30s - early 40s. Proprietor of Paradise Club. Handsome, mysterious. Quietly dangerous. Aloof. A hard shell and a hard interior. Battling many demons. NOTE: The character is a gifted trumpeter, but Actors do NOT need to play the trumpet.

[SILVER] Black woman, late 30s to early 40s. Mysterious, charming. Spicy. Gritty and raw in a way that men find irresistible. Has a meeeeaaaannnn walk.
