Satchmo at the Waldorf

The Sanctuary at Sandy Plaza
1785 NE Sandy Blvd Portland

Jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong, known by his nickname "Satchmo," was one of the greatest all-around entertainers who ever lived, and in Satchmo at the Waldorf, you'll join him backstage at the Empire Room at what would turn out to be his final performance. As portrayed by Salim Sanchez, Armstrong muses on his childhood, his music, his difficult working relationship with manager Joe Glaser and his conflicts with the new guard, represented by jazz hipster Miles Davis. This one-man show comes to the stage at The Sanctuary at Sandy Plaza.
