Two lovable, lyrical linguists from across the Pond arrive for three madcap and meaningful concerts. Verenieks and Loman are treasures of both theater and cabaret in London. English, German and French will be heard here each night.

Ellen just finished a glorious run in "Slay It with Music" at the Greenwich Playhouse, London. And Frank recently concluded his solo show "The Songs of Bucchino, Kahr, and Sondheim."

This show is like a one-act play, with each song linked to the others, beginning with a duet entitled "It's a Dangerous Cabaret" by noted London-based songwriter and published psychotherapist Brett Kahr. New to the States, Dr. Kahr's song sets the tone for a witty and thought-provoking tale -- risky, hypnotic, and frisky. Prepare for an evening of "dependent victim love songs" full of a wide variety of comic songs and ballads.

A portion of all proceedings will be given to the Neuroblastoma Alliance (www.nballiance.org).
