About the production
"THE COTTON CLUB COMES TO 'SKEGEE'". An historical fantasy in which performers from the famous Harlem nightclub are transported to Tuskegee, Alabama in the 21st century, where people of all races can come to see them perform, unlike in Harlem, in the 20's and 30's, when only whites were allowed to patronize the Cotton Club. The show features a live orchestra, and great singing and dancing to the music of Duke Ellington, and Cab Calloway and other famous Black musicians of the day.
