Set Design for Satchmo at the Waldorf 2025

The Schoolhouse Theater kicks off its landmark 40th Season with Satchmo at the Waldorf, a tour-de-force portrait of one of America’s greatest musical icons, Louis Armstrong. This riveting one-man play, with set design by artist Tom Christopher, starring the extraordinary Wali Jamal and Directed by Bram Lewis —offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the legendary Satchmo’s triumphs, struggles, and indomitable spirit.

“Satchmo changed the world with his music—and this play captures the man behind the trumpet in all his complexity. Our audiences are in for an unforgettable evening.”

Set design by Tom Christopher
