Student $15; General $20
Don’t miss the debut of the PM Sundays series in THT’s Anderson Studio, featuring Jenna Nicholls. Hailing from the small town of Irwin, PA near Pittsburgh, Nicholls ultimately gravitated to the creative hotbed of Manhattan’s Lower East Side to develop her career as a songwriter and performer. Forging lasting friendships with other like-minded artists and musicians, Nicholls made three albums: Curled Up Toes in Red Mary Janes, The Blooming Hour, and Radio Parade. The albums revealed a restless muse and a theme that would be a constant for Nicholls: a love of vintage music – anything from classic music films like “Singin’ in the Rain” to Bessie Smith.
