A Harlem of the West Musical
BASED ON A STORY BY DANNY DUNCAN
BOOK BY MICHAEL GENE SULLIVAN AND DANNY DUNCAN
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DANNY DUNCAN
DIRECTED AND CHOREOGRAPHED BY AEJAY ANTONIS MARQUIS
ASSOCIATE DIRECTION AND CHOREOGRAPHY BY PHAEDRA TILLERY-BOUGHTON
MUSIC DIRECTION AND ACCOMPANIMENT BY OTHELLO JEFFERSON
Be transported to San Francisco's Fillmore District--beginning in the present day, where the echoes of a once-thriving Black neighborhood still shape the streets. From there, Every Saturday Night pulls audiences back into the 1950s, the vibrant "Harlem of the West," when the Fillmore pulsed with jazz, community, and possibility.
Following two Black boys--one in each era--the musical explores home, belonging, and resilience, revealing how the Fillmore's past and present are connected by displacement, gentrification, and the enduring fight to stay rooted in the community.
Inspired by true events, this boisterous and heartfelt new work commissioned and presented by San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Company (SFBATCO) celebrates a historic neighborhood while asking urgent questions about who gets to remain in the city today.
