It’s 1863, and in a 20-block area of Manhattan known as the Five Points, African and Irish Americans live side by side, work together, marry, and for a brief period realize the dream of racial harmony explicit in Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. "Paradise Square" celebrates, reframes, and reimagines the music of the father of American popular music, Stephen Foster.

For The Record:

The World Premiere of "Paradise Square" opened at Berkeley Repertory Theater in Berkeley, CA in January 2019. It played the Nederlander (Oriental) in Chacago (11/2 to 12/5)
