The Chitlin' Circuit Documentary hosted by Rev Billy C Wirtz

The Peacock Theater is honored to present our first Film Night as Rev. Billy C Wirtz presents "The Chitlin' Circuit" - a superbly entertaining documentary about the famous and infamous Blues clubs that dotted the Florida landscape during the days of segregation. 

 As well as being a world-class boogie woogie pianist, the Reverend is also a noted Blues historian.  His award winning article for Forum magazine about the Juke joints and Jive clubs around Florida that kept the careers alive of such notable artists as Nat King Cole and James Brown, received such acclaim it was presented with a grant to turn it into this remarkable 45 minute film. 

I was lucky enough to see it at a public viewing last month and knew it would be perfect for our venue. And now you get to see it. And with a musical Question and Answer period with Reverend Billy scatting on keys as only he can do. 

This will be a one of a kind show you won't want to miss.
