Zandra, Queen of Jazz

Donation protected
This November, Darn Skippy Productions will bring our debut theatre production, Zandra, Queen of Jazz, to the stage! This new play with original music is based on the extraordinary and little-known true story of Zandra Mitchell, Ireland's first female saxophonist. Born  in Dublin in 1903, she was a woman who defied expectations and dared to be different. 

More details on our company and the show can be found at:
