This is a compelling story about journalistic ethics set in the offices of a newspaper in a large city. It is inspired by real-life events and is based on the Janet Cook scandal at the Washington Post in 1981 where Cook a black reporter, won the Pulitzer Prize for her story about an inner city black child; it was later discovered by her editor that her story was fabricated.
The intergenerational struggle between the editor and his fraudulent reporter and the ramifications of exposing the fraud introduces the audience to the many layers that Wilson has woven into the fabric of this play. The tension and drama build between the editor, Yvonne and her white lover built to a brilliant crescendo and final act.
Expect a healthy dose of traditional blues, folk and swing tunes as well as his own songs from the latest CD from Dan Bliss (danbliss.com), That's What I'm Here For.

Two bumbling gardeners do their best to turn a vacant lot into a flowering park for a picnic lunch. But there's a great deal of comic juggling, tumbling and slapstick to get the job done, as the two must learn to work together. There's also magic, amazing stilt dancing and audience participation throughout this high-energy and wholly original show.
