Night Side Songs - A Musical
Literature Department at Parkway Central Library
The Philadelphia Theatre Company presents a ninety-minute new musical, Night Side Songs. The performance explores the intimacy of illness, mortality, and the incredible dignity of caregivers through the story of Yasmine Holly, a fictional character informed by interviews with real doctors, hospital staff, and patients, many from right here in Philadelphia. Night Side Songs is a musical convergence which reflects and celebrates Philly’s “eds and meds” community with humor, grace, and profound empathy. The production will tour local hospitals, community centers, and places of worship for two weeks before its run at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre.
Directed by Philadelphia Theatre Company's Artistic Director Taibi Magar. Night Side Songs is supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
No need for registration, this performance is free and open to the public.
