By: BWW News Desk Dec. 26, 2013
The Purple Rose Theatre Company will present Jeff Daniels' Onstage & Unplugged for a limited seven-show engagement from today, December 26 through Tuesday, December 31, 2013. (Editors' Note: Please find a full performance / pricing schedule on page 2). All performances will be at The Purple Rose Theatre Company, 137 Park Street, Chelsea, MI 48118.
A prolific songwriter as well as playwright, Daniels (PRTC Founder) will perform an arsenal of songs that are alternately humorous and poignant. Daniels has toured nationally with his music, but has reduced his concert appearances since landing his Emmy winning lead role on HBO's acclaimed series The Newsroom. "Jeff's got an incredibly busy schedule now, so we're honored that he's able to fit in these concerts during his holiday break," says PRTC Artistic Director Guy Sanville.
This year's line-up will feature old favorites as well as newer songs. His first album, Jeff Daniels Live and Unplugged, was recorded in 2001 during the original PRTC concert that sparked the tradition. These and Daniels' other critically acclaimed albums - Live at the Purple Rose, Grandfather's Hat, Together Again with Jonathan Hogan and Keep It Right Here (Featuring Brad Phillips and Dominic John Davis) - are available for purchase at The Purple Rose Theatre Company Box Office. CDs and information about Daniels' music career are also available online at JeffDaniels.com.
