Sister Suzie Cinema

This program features the broadcast premiere of the "doo-wop" opera "Sister Suzie Cinema," which integrates the "a cappella" singing of the all- male group 14 Karat Soul into a nostalgic salute to the music, movies, and teenagers of the 1950s. The program also includes a discussion of the video with its makers: writer Lee Breuer, composer Bob Telson, and director John Sanborn. The presentation of this video opera followed a successful run at the Public Theater in New York City and on national and international tours.
