You'll tap your toes and dance in the aisles as BCT presents Tuxedo Junction, a World Premiere musical based on the early life of legendary jazz musician, and Birmingham native, Erskine Hawkins. Honoring Black History Month and the first inductee in the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, join us on the journey of a musician and athlete who learned that life is about making choices – and experience live jazz music along the way. For teachers, classroom exercises are plentiful and examine American Jazz, the Civil Rights Movement and the need for a solid educational foundation for success. Commissioned as part of BCT's New Voices Project and written by playwright Cheryl L. Davis, Tuxedo Junction is made possible by a special gift from the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support provided by the Joseph S. Bruno Foundation and Protective Life Foundation.
Recommended for: 2nd-8th Grades, or 6-12 yrs.
