The two-act play, written by Synthia L. Hardy and directed by Bryan Rasmussen combines storytelling and song to capture the essence of Billie Holiday’s music and life. In the first act, Holiday prepares for her show while answering the questions of two unseen reporters. Hardy as Holiday entwines her biography and explanations of the inspiration for and history of her music with performances of her popular numbers. Musician Woody Woods joins Hardy on stage as Holiday’s pianist accompanying her through hits including the haunting “Strange Fruit,” as well as “God Bless the Child,” “Good Morning Heartache,” and “Lover Man.” One of the greatest jazz and blues performers of all time, Holiday unfolds the truth about her turbulent life – combating racism, navigating abusive relationships, and enduring multiple arrests. In the second act, Hardy embodies Lady Day, (a nickname given to Holiday by musician Lester Young), in a concert of her hits that includes “’Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do” and “Willow, Weep for Me.” Through a voice reminiscent of Holiday’s with its raspy edge and incorporation of crying and wailing, Hardy portrays the iconic artist as simultaneously classy and tough, vulnerable and versatile, hopeful at times and hopeless at others, but most of all, full of heart and sympathy.

Raising awareness and acknowledgement of the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular U.S. Army after the end of the Civil War is the goal of a local cavalry troop and nonprofit organization. On July 28, 1866, Congress authorized six regiments of Negro slaves and free men, which consisted of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments, and the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments. These men became known as, “Buffalo Soldiers.” The rich and historical legacy and accomplishments of these valiant soldiers will be on full display at the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the San Diego Chapter Buffalo Soldiers on June 30, 2023, at the Celebration Hall of the Vi and Joe Jacob Center in Lincoln Park. The public is invited to join the anniversary luncheon, enjoy exhibits of artifacts, and celebrate their contributions at this noteworthy event. An informative program is planned and special keynote speaker, Brigadier General Antoinette R. Gant, the first African American female, active-duty engineer promoted to the rank of general officer, will be in attendance. For more information visit: sandiegobuffalosoldiers.org
