I rejoice to report that due to audience demand, the Long Wharf Theatre production of Satchmo at the Waldorf, starring John Douglas Thompson and directed by Gordon Edelstein, has just extended its run in New Haven from November 4 to November 11. (The show will then transfer directly to Philadelphia’s Wilma Theater, where it opens on November 16 and runs through December 2.)
Says Joshua Borenstein, Long Wharf’s managing director:

The audience response to Gordon, Terry and John’s work has been both outstanding and gratifying. We are delighted to be able to feature the skill and craft of these fine theatre artists for another week.
