It’s the Roaring ’20s and “Hot Miss Lil” is a star! Barely 20, she’s already a bandleader, arranger, composer, singer—and usually the only woman in Chicago’s hottest bands. As pianist with King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band she’s unimpressed when “Little Louis” Armstrong, a pudgy bumpkin with a cornet, arrives from New Orleans, but shy “Satchelmouth” wins her over. Lil becomes his friend, mentor, co-composer, arranger, manager and wife—the second of four. LIL & LOUIS is a unique love story about “the First Couple of Jazz.” 

Watch jazz and theater history come alive—and celebrate Women’s History Month—as this new play unfolds in its final step (script in hand) before a full production. Enter the world of LIL & LOUIS, presented in an intimate setting with talented performers from Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and authentic songs (live and recorded) and dances of the era.

The Strange Case of Lucy Chandler is a web series that draws inspiration from shows like Veronica Mars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer while mixing in elements of 40s noir, Dashiell Hammett-esque hard-boiled crime fiction, and the horror films of John Carpenter.

Writer/Director: Christopher Schrader

Lucy's father was a private eye who disappeared while working a case. Now she's picking up where he left off to see if she can uncover the truth about what happened to him. Unfortunately for Lucy, "truth" is painfully subjective. She suffers from a condition that often makes it difficult to distinguish reality from her delusions.

An unsolved murder... a series of missing persons cases... black-market pornographers... a phantom boogeyman lurking in the shadows...

As her investigation grows increasingly bizarre and dangerous, Lucy's left to wonder who she can trust when she can't even trust herself.

 Everyone has been in a dark place at one point or another in their lives. We often call it the darkness, our nightmare. What I went through was the darkest time of my life. Often times we can compare it to being pushed down a dark hole and we're falling deeper and deeper into the darkness. We reach our hand out to the light above us but it keeps getting further and further away. From my experience and writing my script, I was able to get through the darkness and see the light again. The light for me was my happiness. There is a quote that read " in order for one to be reborn, their water must break." What this means is whatever pain you're going through, whatever darkness you're going through, whatever nightmare you're going through, sometimes we have to break and by break I mean with our emotions. The message I want my viewers to feel is that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. If I can get through my darkness so can they. I've moved on.
