Staged Reading | Stone Don't Lie: Betrayal and Revenge at the Cathedral
Daniel Walter Owens's Stone Don't Lie is a two-act play about betrayal, revenge, and friendship. Two lifelong friends, Bobby and Jerome (both ex-addicts), are in a stone-carving competition, the outcome of which could save the Cathedral's bankrupt stone yard training program. The Cathedral's stone yard is where they both found shelter, purpose, and learned their skills of cutting and carving stone. Jerome returns to the stone yard to exact punishment on Bobby for an act of betrayal which resulted in Jerome suffering a painful and crippling injury. Errol, the new Master Mason, is all that stands between a failed competition, the closure of the stone yard and Bobby's punishment at the hands of Jerome.

Jazz | Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in the Park
The Grammy-winning Christian McBride Big Band brings the celebrated bassist and bandleader's take on the sprawling ensembles that dominated jazz in the early 1940s at the height of swing. McBride explores several extensions of his creative inspiration through various ensembles; this 17-piece iteration helped define a new big band sound that fuses traditional long-form compositions with more modern post-bop sound. Their latest, 2020's For Jimmy, Wes, and Oliver, saw McBride and organist Joey DeFrancesco explore their shared love for the Jimmy Smith/Wes Montgomery collaborations of the late '60s. This concert will feature pieces from that album as well as others from the Christian McBride Big Band. They're joined by Wallace Roney Jr, a trumpeter who's shared the stage with the likes of Chick Corea, Ornette Coleman, and Jimmy Heath, and carries the pedigree of his Grammy-winning father Wallace Roney (a mentee of Miles Davis).
