Meet JoMo Productions Inc., a nonprofit, 501(c) (3) organization, was created in Florida in October 2018 to present events in the performing arts, with an emphasis on live performance. We've successfully completed our first two presentations. The first was a workshop production of LIL & LOUIS in March 2019 as part of the 39th Sarasota Jazz Festival, with in-kind sponsorship by Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and the Jazz Club of Sarasota. The second was a full production of the same play in Sarasota in January 2020.
We're excited because we're creating something brand new, a work of fiction freely based on the real lives of Lil Hardin Armstrong and Louis Armstrong. We invite you to join us on this journey.
LIL & LOUIS was sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; Caldwell Trust Company, Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, Eisenberg Lehman, One-Stop Housing, the Jazz Club of Sarasota, First Presbyterian Church of Sarasota, and The Exchange. We humbly ask if you will join in our efforts as we continue to bring the story of the Armtrongs, "The First Couple of Jazz," to vibrant, musical life. Your tax-deductible contribution will help underwrite our costs.
