A Little Bit of Paradise is set in Buffalo’s East Side, circa 1924, and the home of prominent black attorney Jacob Bridges and his wife, Louisa, as they navigate a pivotal and tumultuous period in the history of WNY’s African-American community. Suspense, intrigue, romance, and nostalgia pervade this lovely slice of life melodrama.

Annette Daniels Taylor was a part of the 2005/2006 and the 2006/2007 Emanuel Fried New Play Workshop. The Emanuel Fried New Play Workshop (NPW) is dedicated to developing new plays by Western New York playwrights. A Little Bit of Paradise has received three public development readings through the NPW; Ms. Daniels Taylor has used feedback from these readings to continue to fine-tune her play.

Annette Daniels Taylor is the author of Mamasongs, which she has performed in schools throughout Erie and Niagara County. She contributed original material to Symphony Down In My Soul (Alleyway/BET), and has appeared with Down In My Soul Productions’ staging of For Colored Girls Who Have Committed Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. Annette is the local organizer of the national festival Mamapalooza!
