" The Deadest Bar in Baltimore" A Staged Reading
2016-11-30 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Halifax)
The Deadest Bar in Baltimore.
A staged reading
Written by Tim German
Directed by Ruben Vellekoop
Twenty six-year old Sara Dunnigan spends her days at her family’s historic Baltimore tavern. Dunnigan’s Tavern, a bar so old it may as well be a landmark is heavy in arrears, has had a fledgling customer base for a decade, and is short on money and time.
When Sara saves the life of a bleeding man who walks into her bar late one night, He begins to turn her world upside down with a series of unanswered questions: Is he running from something? Can he be trusted? Is he dangerous? (He is, he can’t, and he most certainly is.)

Saxophonist Jeff Antoniuk has toured many continents since leaving Alberta, Canada and is lauded for his heightened powers on the saxophone. Jazz Times praised his considerable chops while MusikReviews.com described his amazing saxophone playing. He is a recognized master of modern jazz, hard bop and funk.

The Shook/Russo 5tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few.
