Helen Hayes Award Winning Actress\, Iyona Blake returns to Creative Cauldron to portray one of America&rsquo\;s most iconic jazz legends\, Billie Holiday. In March of 1959\, "\;Lady Day"\;\, as she was called\, performed one of her final shows in a run-down bar in South Philly. \;She turned jazz songs and standards into searching\, and searing\, portraits of life and love gone wrong. "\;Lady Day at Emerson'\;s Bar and Grill"\; relives this final performance with Billie telling her life story and singing over a dozen of her most salty\, and often humorous\, numbers (&ldquo\;When a Woman Loves a Man\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Taint Nobody&rsquo\;s Business If I Do\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Pig Foot and a Bottle of Beer&rdquo\;. Superb jazz pianist Mark Meadows leads the band as Iyona performs this riveting portrait of the woman behind the legend.
