"Voices of the Town" is a literal translation from the French "voix de ville," the original name of the entertainment that became known in America as Vaudeville.  In this tribute to the Old Tymes, the troupe has created a play-within-a-play.  It begins with the actors in "real time" on tour to under-served audiences, the dedicated mission of the company.  As they enter and prepare for the show, they complain about the problems they face in their careers and lives: racial discrimination, struggles in the economy, equal pay for women, age discrimination, lawsuits, bad love affairs, demonstrations and unions, takeovers, the taking of film and TV roles to support a life in the theatre, and more.  When they finally get to the show, it turns out they are performing a tribute to the bygone days of vaudeville and each actor turns into a famous personality of the 1920s.  A beautiful and sensuous African-American actress becomes Florence Mills, a great figure of the Harlem Renaissance who sang literally like a bird, danced, acted, and was well loved by all who saw her.  A shining star, she was most famous for her rendition of: "I'm a Little Blackbird Looking for a Bluebird" [of happiness] from "Shuffle Along," the hugely successful Broadway musical by Eubie Blake & Noble Sissle.  Bert Williams was beloved in both the African-American and the White communities.  His Mr. Nobody was the forerunner of Chaplin's Little Tramp and he became the highest paid star of the Ziegfeld Follies.  Other characters are: Gallagher & Shean, the dueling partnership that was the model for Neil Simon's "The Sunshine Boys."  The Dolly Sisters, an attractive duo from Poland that performed mirror dances.  Tony Pastor, dubbed the Father of Vaudeville, MC/Manager of the famous Fourteenth Street Theatre.  The production has five actors, singing, dancing, and musical accompaniment.
