For our fourth production in the American Masterworks Series, we’ll present a concert version of Street Scene, Kurt Weill’s extraordinary musical theater piece which received the first Tony Award for Best Original Score.

Best-known for his collaboration with Bertolt Brecht on The Threepenny Opera, Weill is one of the most innovative and influential theater composers of the twentieth century. In Street Scene, he mixes show tunes, jazz, arias, folk songs and spirituals to portray the passions and frustrations of a multi-ethnic New York City tenement block during two brutally hot days in the Depression era. With lyrics by the great Harlem Renaissance poet, novelist and playwright Langston Hughes, and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Elmer Rice, Street Scene is an important, vital work that builds to an explosive conclusion.
  Kurt Weill STREET SCENE American Opera in two acts.
Book by Elmer Rice, based on his play of the same name.
Lyrics by Langston Hughes and Elmer Rice. Used by arrangement with European American Music Corporation, agent for The Kurt Weill Foundation for Music, Inc.

Freda Payne

A Tribute to the Great Ladies of Jazz: Ella, Lena & Sarah

A Tribute to the Great Ladies of Jazz: Ella, Lena & Sarah

Born  in Detroit, Michigan, Freda grew up  listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, which inspired  her growing interest in music. While still in school, she
began her musical career by singing radio commercial jingles. It was then that her polished voice first caught the attention of music executives and other artists. She was wooed with offers of contracts from the likes of Berry Gordy and Duke  Ellington, but her mother wanted her to finish school  first.  After she did, the legendary Pearl Bailey gave Freda her first professional job and this paved the way for her to share the stage with other legends such as Lionel Hampton, Sammy Davis Jr., Billy Eckstine, Quincy ]ones, Bill Cosby and many others. Freda toured with Quincy Jones during his big band era, performing at the world famous Apollo in New York and the Regal  in Chicago, among others, and soon after,  recorded her first album When The Lights Go Down for Impulse Records. 

Then in 1969, some of her hometown friends, brothers Brian & Eddie Holland and Lamont Dozier, persuaded Freda to sign with their newly formed label, Invictus. These distinguished songwriters were responsible for putting Motown  music firmly on the map by writing and producing million sellers for acts such as the Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas and the Supremes – whose last lead singer is Freda’s sister Scherrie – also blessed with an incredible vocal talent. Freda went on to score with her own million-selling singles, “Band Of Gold” and “Bring The Boys Home.” 

During this time, a busy Freda  also added theatrical credits to her resume.  She understudied Leslie Uggams for the Tony Award winning, Broadway show Hallelujah Baby in 1967 and appeared with the Equity Theatre in a production of Lost in the Stars. Freda’s ever expanding repertoire included roles in the award-winning musical, Blues in the Night, Jelly’s Last Jam, Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Sophisticated Ladies.In the 80s, Freda concentrated on acting and television, briefly hosting her own talk show, but never entirely losing touch with her music. 
She recorded a single in 1982 entitled “In Motion”and a remake of “Band of Gold”with Belinda Carlisle in 1986 and most recently  American Idol’s Kimberly Locke just rerecorded it.  The new millennium brought a new album of jazz, pop and R&B called Come See About Me and rave reviews for her show, “Love & Payne,”which featured Freda and Darlene Love at Feinstein’s at the Regency in New York City, and at the Cinegrill in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.
For the past two years, Freda’s Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald has enjoyed sold out performances at the Catalina Jazz Club in Los Angeles, the Iridium and Feinstein’s in NYC, the Spokane Jazz Festival and on tour in Performing Arts Centers, nationally and overseas. Her performance in the 2007 revival of Blues in the Night at the Post Street Theatre in San Francisco garnered full houses and rave reviews during its extended run.
Most recently, Freda was invited to perform at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, during it’s 75th Anniversary Celebration honoring Quincy Jones. A DVD of the Festival will be released later this year. Freda was just on American Idol to celebrate the Disco Diva Era which was viewed by over 50 million viewers

The MEETING

A King and a Prince: Malcolm X meets Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Directed by Michael Lange 

1320 Fillmore St

San Francisco, CA 94115

415.255.7745
In celebration of Malcolm X’s 86th birthday San Francisco’s Jazz Heritage Center- Educational & Media Theatre at 1330 Fillmore Street will host a live stage performance of Jeff Stetson’s award winning play THE MEETING on Thursday May 19th, May 20th, and May 21st at 7:30PM, respectively, and on May 22, 2011 at 3PM.

THE MEETING depicts a fictitious meeting between two of the most important leaders of the 20th Century – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The one act play takes place a few days before the assassination of Malcolm X at New York’s Audubon Ballroom, high up in an intimate and modestly furnished hotel suite in the heart of Harlem. In THE MEETING both men’s philosophies resonate and clash as they eloquently set forth their arguments on issues of freedom, dignity and respect not only for African Americans but for all people who have suffered at the hands of injustice. It imagines what could have happened had they actually met, joined hands and pushed in the same direction.

The meeting features veteran actors Michael Lange as Malcolm X, Abbie Rhone as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and actors Dejuan Conner or Dorian Brockington as Rashad, Malcolm’s bodyguard. The play, first performed in 1984, received eight NAACP image awards including best play and best playwright.  It has been reviewed as “a remarkable, intensely intimate meeting full of undisguised competitiveness, deep passion and potent reasoning. The Meeting is enthralling.”
