Experience the joy and excitement of the golden age of Tin Pan Alley when Brandt Blocker's THE ALL NIGHT STRUT! struts its stuff as it comes roaring to Southern Repertory Theatre in a no holds-barred celebration of the age of be-bop, jazz and swing. Filled with non-stop action, superb choreography by Alton Geno, great music from the on-stage 'STRUT' band, and irrepressible humor, this two-act bonanza of pulsating energy features Gabrielle Porter, Tywon Morgan, Ashley Smetherman Lemmler, and Christopher Bentivegna who jitterbug, croon and scat as they romp down memory lane with the loving sure-footedness of travelers who have been this way before.

An anthology of swinging, slinky, sensuous songs, THE ALL NIGHT STRUT! covers the American experience of the Depression Era of the 1930's, the patriotic fervor of World War II and the post war boom of the late 1940's with great style and heady optimism.

From the funky jive of late night jam sessions in Harlem to the sophisticated elegance of El Morocco to the romance of the Stage Door Canteen, this is an evening filled with jazz, blues, gospel, be-bop, swing and classic song standards that tug at the heart, tickle the funny bone and raise the rafters. Filled with some of the greatest songs of the '30's and '40's such as "Juke Box Saturday Night", "Ain't Misbehavin'", "White Cliffs Of Dover", "Brother Can You Spare A Dime", "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", "Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer", "I'll Be Seeing You", "Fascinating Rhythm", "As Time Goes By", and "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing", THE ALL NIGHT STRUT! is irresistible, totally entertaining and a red-hot winner!
