DESCRIPTION:
(from Starz's press release, December 2014) Starz has announced the series development of "Storyville" which is set in New Orleans during the turn of the 20th century where prostitution was decriminalized and an exceedingly vibrant, hedonistic, celebratory subculture emerged and fueled the birth of jazz. Award-winning film and theatre Writer/Director George C. Wolfe (Nights in Rodanthe, Lackawanna Blues, "Lucky Guy") will serve as screenwriter and director with Colin Callender's Playground Entertainment producing the series, led by Scott Huff, Vice President of Development and Production. "Storyville" is based on an original idea by George C. Wolfe who won three Tony Awards(R) for the 1992 Broadway musical "Jelly's Last Jam" about Jelly Roll Morton whose career began in the "Storyville" district. Wolfe's theatre credits include directing Nora Ephron's Tony-nominated "Lucky Guy" starring Tom Hanks in his Broadway debut and winning a Tony for his work on "Angels in America". Wolfe is repped by CAA. |
