Go back to the days when swing was king with “Southeast Queens,” running now through May 7 at the Roy Wilkins Park Theatre.
The play, directed by Passion, and written by Carl Clay and Jacqueline Wade, takes you on a musical journey to the past, when innocence reigned in Southeast Queens, when you only paid a quarter to hop on the bus, families gathered at house parties and backyard barbecues, and the sounds of Motown and Count Basie and James Brown hailed Queens as home. “Southeast Queens” will have you reminiscing about old friends and places. It’s not just a show — it’s a musical history book. Suitable for older teens.
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays now through May 7. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 8 pm and Sundays at 4 pm. Tickets are $25.
