BLACK BOX
Book by Lanie Robertson
February 5, 2027 – February 28, 2027
“You can only get to where you at by where you been.”
The voice was legendary. The story was human. The brand new black box series begins with an unforgettable night in the company of one of music’s most enduring legends. In the intimate setting of a South Philadelphia bar, Billie Holiday takes the stage for what would become one of her final performances. Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill brings audiences into the room with Billie as she shares her stories, her struggles, and the songs that made her unforgettable. Featuring some of her most iconic music, this powerful portrait reveals the woman behind the legend: a groundbreaking artist, a survivor, and a storyteller whose voice carried the weight of a life lived on her own terms. More than a concert, Lady Day is an intimate evening of music, memory, and humanity; and a fitting first step into the new black box.
