Lackawanna Blues

''Lackawanna Blues'' is an American play written by Ruben Santiago-Hudson that premiered in 2001. It was later adapted as a television movie that aired in 2005. The play dramatizes the character of the author's primary caregiver when he was growing up in Lackawanna, New York, during the 1950s and 1960s.
==Play==
The play debuted off Broadway April 14, 2001, at the Joseph Papp Theater in New York City.〔Weber, Bruce. "Thanks, Miss Rachel, Thanks for Raising Me", ''New York Times.'' April 17, 2001.〕〔("Santiago-Hudson's Got the Lackawanna Blues at the Public, April 14." ''Playbill.'' April 14, 2001. )〕 It was directed by Loretta Greco, produced by George C. Wolfe, and the executive producer was Fran Reiter. Rosemarie Tichler was the artistic producer.〔〔
The play is a montage of reminiscences, memories, testimonials and ''roman a clefs'' of "Miss Rachel," or Nanny, as the young Ruben Santiago, Jr. calls her. Largely abandoned by his parents, Ruben finds that Nanny becomes his surrogate family. Various incidents in Ruben's and Nanny's life are portrayed, with a large cast of quirky minor characters—friends, boarders, family members, visitors, relatives, and so on—providing commentary on Nanny's strength of character, intelligence, and morality.〔
The play included several songs, either sung by the characters in the play or as ambient music heard via a radio or through a window. Bill Sims Jr. provided the original music, as well as performing on-stage acoustic guitar for the play.〔〔
''Lackawanna Blues'' is intended to be a one-man show. The actor narrating the play (an adult Ruben) was intended to portray more than 20 other characters, as well as the starring role of the young Ruben.〔
The play was very well received. ''The New York Times'' called it a "tour de force."〔(McKinley, Jesse. "Little Things That Count." ''New York Times.'' December 28, 2001. )〕 Playwright Ruben Santiago-Hudson won an OBIE special citation for ''Lackawanna Blues,'' while Bill Sims, Jr. won an OBIE for his music.〔(Simonson, Robert. "Lackawanna Blues Sings Its Last at Public Theater, May 27." ''Playbill.'' May 27, 2001. )〕
