Don’t Tell Mama is the site of the critically acclaimed pop-up blues show, "Pompie's Place". It is produced and hosted by Arthur “Pompie” Pomposello, the show’s titular impresario, “Pompie’s Place” will play a four show engagement.

With its daring mix of blues from the Delta to Broadway (with detours in Chicago and Memphis), “Pompie’s Place” transports audiences to a mythic blues room of another time and place.

The Wall Street Journal deems the show’s two resident divas -- Gardner and Harrison -- two of “the better blues and jazz singers out there.”
The band -- TheaterScene.com calls it “a world-class combo” -- features Ken Peplowski on reeds and Jon-Erik Kelso on trumpet (on alternating nights); Jackie Williams on drums and David Wong on bass.

In previews during the spring TheaterPizzazz.com called the show “spectacular… infectious! Some of the best jazz and blues singers around.” The Nation.com rated it “awesome, boy was the music fun!”
