Playwright’s Note

I moved to Pittsburgh from New York with my wife in 1993. My passion for writing and performing music moved here with me. I’ve learned that the life of a musician can be fun, but it’s never easy. It’s hard work: late night rehearsals, long tours and traveling. In my lifetime, I have played with many well-known jazz artists including Homewood’s famous jazz pianist Erroll Garner and singer/songwriter Oscar Brown, Jr. One thing I really enjoy is listening to all the stories that musician share with us. You can learn a lot about people through their stories. Although I have never performed with the beautiful and legendary Dinah Washington I love her distinctive voice and sultry style. Some people called Dinah “Queen of the Jukebox”. She called herself “The Queen of The Blues”. To me she’s an outstanding jazz artist who sings an interesting story. I hope you like it.

Delana Flowers (Dinah Washington) is thrilled to find out what a difference 9 years makes. It was 2015 when she first “met” Dinah and what an honor to be revisiting Mrs. Washington and this show. Miss Flowers is a dynamic vocalist with a unique sound. Her energy and eclecticism fill every space of any room as she sings from her heart and soul to yours. Music and Miss Flowers have been inseparable from the start and this has been evident since her church choir debut at age 2. Like childhood friends that can’t bear to part ways she and music have been growing together, playing out the composition that is her life. The oldest of 2 on her mother’s side and the middle child on her father’s, she’s got it honest. As if being the daughter of a musician/preacher weren’t enough, her paternal side is full of musicians and singers in addition to a maternal side that has been singing together in churches for years. Delana has graced stages all over this city and in her hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in musicals like Dreamgirls, Ain’t Misbehavin, Merrily We Roll Along, Queens of the Blues, Black Nativity, The Wiz, Mahalia Jackson: Standing on Holy Ground, Little Shop of Horrors and Chelsea Arms. For the past 12 years Delana has been part of a trio known as the BGVS, singing lead and background for RnB, Jazz, Pop, gospel, Rock, Soul and Motown shows local and abroad. She has been a featured artist on several recordings and played with multiple bands. Miss Flowers has been part of top-notch choirs, worship teams and small ensembles all over the city. Whether leading worship at church or singing leads and/or background for tributes to Prince, Chaka Khan, Steely Dan, Stevie Nicks, Aretha Franklin, Teena Marie, or Stevie Wonder, she’s hopelessly in love with music. Acting and singing are not her only gifts. She is also a prolific writer with an English degree, a spoken word artist, model, teaching artist and song writer. This vocalist and thespian, among so many other things, shows no sign of slowing down.

Les Howard (Brook Benton / Husband 3) is an accomplished actor, beginning his acting career as a member of the former and prestigious D.C. Black Repertory Company, founded by actor Robert Hooks, in Washington, D.C. Les has had many fine performances, here in Pittsburgh, for such theaters as Pittsburgh Playwrights Theater Co., New Horizon Theater, Gargaro Productions, the former Kuntu Repertory Theater, et.al.

Whether on stage, screen, or behind the DJ booth, Royce believes in the healing power of music and storytelling, and hopes everyone who experiences a performance of his leaves feeling refreshed, enlightened and inspired.

Joining the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theater family over ten years ago, Sam is proud to be a constant staple in such an innovative and historical theater company.

Sam also took part in the productions of Jitney and Seven Guitars. His other works include classics such as William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, Lorraine Hansbury’s A Raisin in the Sun.
