Jeannette Bayardelle’s New Musical SHIDA Coming to Ars Nova, Begin. 7/19
Jeannette Bayardelle has written a raw and thrilling piece of theater called SHIDA, and we were absolutely thrilled to present the first public reading at Birdland! This one-woman tour-de-force has a soulful score that features rock, jazz, R&B, and gospel music, and judging from the response of the sold-out house, is one that should be heard by theater-lovers everywhere. Many thanks to Jeannette, musical director Clay Bogan III, and director Andy Sandberg for bringing this inspiring evening to our stage!
