Central Avenue Breakdown

It’s 1940s Los Angeles and the hottest place to be seen is Central Avenue, in the shadow of Hollywood, where hot swing blows all night long at clubs like Jack’s Chicken Basket and the Club Alabam. Brothers Bill and Jim Marcel are sax players struggling to carve out their own legacies, but first they must overcome a destructive rivalry, addiction, and tragedy before it’s too late. The winner of the Daegu Production Award at NYMF 2011, a newly-revised Central Avenue Breakdown enjoys a special encore run at NYMF 2012 immediately following its production at NYMF’s sister festival in South Korea.
