"SCAT!… The Complex Lives of Al & Dot, Dot & Al Zollar is my story. It is my family’s story. It is a personal and collective story of a family and a people, moving from the Jim Crow south during the Great Migration." - Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, UBW Founder
Set in a fictional jazz club, SCAT!… The Complex Lives of Al & Dot, Dot & Al Zollar is a dance-driven musical that tells a love story of two people making their way during the Great Migration through song, dance and storytelling. It is a powerful tale of one family and what happens when dreams encounter the realities of American life in the 40s & 50s. SCAT!… The Complex Lives of Al & Dot, Dot & Al Zollar features an original jazz score performed by a live band.
