AFTER MIDNIGHT AT THE 5th AVENUE THEATRE

Depending on where you are in your perusal of this month's editorial content, you may or may not have read our spotlight feature on Yusef Seevers. Yusef is a treasured ARTE NOIR collaborator, having worked with us on projects around the community, including with the Seattle Opera, and teaching West African Dance during our Summer in the Square series over the past few years. Besides hosting our upcoming anniversary celebration, Yusef will be on the stage once more at the 5th Avenue Theatre for their upcoming production of After Midnight.

Immerse yourself in the sultry, swingin’ Jazz Age of the Harlem Renaissance, where the Cotton Club is the place to be! Infused with the iconic tunes of Duke Ellington, Dorothy Fields, Harold Arlen, and more, After Midnight weaves groundbreaking jazz standards with rapturous dance and the rhythmic poetry of Langston Hughes in a jubilant production fit to blow the roof off the theater. Timeless songs like “Stormy Weather,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing” will have you leaping to your feet to join the fun.

• Winner of the Tony®, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards

• Featuring a live jazz band on stage, and the best tap dancing in the Pacific Northwest

• A 5th Avenue Theatre debut and original staging
