"If You Got to Tell a Lie, Make Sure It's Simple and Easy to Remember." That's "Rules and Things #3" says Bud. And that's Bud, not Buddy. Here's a kid, pretty much on his own, during the Depression. And now Bud's made a whopper of a decision. He's going to set off alone to find his unknown father. Is he jazz/blues bandleader Herman E. Calloway? Follow this courageous, heartfelt journey filled with suspense and laughter.

"Simply sublime... poignant and elegant. This lyrical production is as apt for adults as it is for children." –Star Tribune [Read review]
