An original stage play, The St. Louis Attitude, by Angela da Salva about Black life in the Gay 90’s St. Louis will open at the Sheldon Concert Hall. Friday. December 13th.
This is a factual historical account of two of America’s most enduring folk legends • only they aren’t myth, as many suppose, but fact.
The play takes place at a time when St. Louis was considered the wild wild west.
A 15 block area of St Louis known as the Chestnut Valley gave America and the world the music they listened to and the dances they danced … and the sporting style of dress that became renowned in the west by Bat Masterson and Diamond III. Songwriter W. C. Handy immortalized the dark dusty beauties with their store bought hair and diamond rings in the “St. Louis Blues.” The St. Louis Attitude artfully recreates that time and era and takes you into the truth of Frankie and Johnny…and the infamous Babe Conners. Featured are performances by Denise Thimes, Celeste Mikell, and Peggy Harris.
The stage play is by Angela da Silva. direction by Harry Kumke. musical direction by Steven Malloy. Ticket prices are $15.50 and $13.50.
