In “Golden Leaf Ragtime Blues”, Stories Speak

By Cate Rees-Hessel

American Blues’ stellar production of the Chicago premiere of Golden Leaf Ragtime Blues tells the poignant story of an unlikely friendship between an old vaudeville performer and a teenage boy.  They end together because of uncontrollable circumstances. but build a piquant relationship that makes for a a very moving story.

The play is brilliantly written by Charles Smith and very well directed by Chuck Smith. The acting is fabulous, empathic, and realistic. Justin Banks, Dennis Cockrum, Dawn Bach, and James Sherman bring the story to life with heart touching honesty and sharp humor. This is a play that is certainly not to be missed, so go before the show is no more June 29th to www.americanbluestheater.com for tickets or more information.
