Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts KICKS OFF its inaugural season WITH the world-premiere of Scat!

by Frances Marion Platt

A dance-driven musical set in the 1940s and ’50s that takes place in a fictional nightclub, it will be performed in the very real-life Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30 at 9 p.m. and on Sunday, July 1 at 7 p.m. With dramaturgy by Talvin Wilks, Scat! features an original jazz score composed by Craig Harris and performed live by Harris with a five-piece band and two vocalists.

Urban Bush Women

Founded in 1984 by choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Urban Bush Women (UBW) seeks to bring the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light through dance. We do this from a woman-centered perspective and as members of the African Diaspora community in order to create a more equitable balance of power in the dance world and beyond.
