Synopsis

A grifter and his young friend look to make a quick buck for a night on the town; a former cabaret dancer has devised an inventive way to get around the Prohibition; a jitney bus driver tries to overcome his dubious reputation so he can pick up a few fares. All these proceedings are viewed through the eyes of a street vender who gets caught up in the mayhem when these worlds collide. It’s a Prohibition era musical for audiences of all ages. Kyle Berry's has fashioned classic songs from the early Twentieth century into a fun, unified score.
