Kennedy Center to Welcome Faith Prince as Part of 'Barbara Cook's Spotlight' Series on Halloween

The Kennedy Center presents a one night only performance with Tony Award winner Faith Prince on Friday, October 31, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. in the Terrace Theater. The evening is part of Barbara Cook's Spotlight, which features theater cabaret performances throughout the 2014-2015 season by Broadway artists chosen by Barbara Cook. Faith Prince's performance Have a Little Faith will feature piano accompaniment by music director Alex Rybeck.

Faith Prince has been dazzling Broadway audiences since winning the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for her performance as Ms. Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. As one of Broadway's best loved leading ladies, Faith most recently starred in a role she was born to play - the scheming, irascible Miss Hannigan in the revival of Annie on Broadway. In 2008, she was nominated for Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards for A Catered Affair. Other Broadway credits include The Little Mermaid, Bells Are Ringing (Tony, DD, OCC noms), Nick & Nora (OCC Award), Jerome Robbins' Broadway (Tony, DD noms), Little Me, The Dead, and Noises Off. She also starred in the world premiere of Terrence McNally's Unusual Acts of Devotion and in the national tour of the Broadway hit Billy Elliott.

Faith currently recurs on ABC Family's Melissa & Joey and just wrapped her five-season run as Brooke Elliott's mother on Lifetime's hit series Drop Dead Diva. She was a series regular on Showtime's Huff starring as Kelly Knippers, the love interest of Oliver Platt, and recurred for five seasons on Spin City. Other television credits include A Gifted Man, Happy Endings, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Faith, House, Medium, Sweet Potato Queens, Monk, Now and Again, Welcome To New York, and Law & Order. Film credits include Our Very Own, Picture Perfect, Dave, and My Father the Hero.

Faith works often with the Boston Pops, Utah Symphony, Cincinnati Pops, and Philly Pops, and recently starred in the Orlando Philharmonic's concert version of Sweeney Todd. Faith toured her show Moving On in Australia to rave reviews, and also toured in Over the Rainbow, a concert celebrating the centennial of Harold Arlen. Faith's new album, Total Faith, was recorded at the Royal Room in the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach and was recently released by Broadway Records. Her award winning album, A Leap Of Faith, was recorded at Joe's Pub.

Now in its eighth season, Barbara Cook's Spotlight brings perennial Broadway favorites to the Kennedy Center's intimate Terrace Theater for a host of theater cabaret performances. Upcoming performances of Barbara Cook's Spotlight series in the 2014-2015 season include Andrea McArdle on December 5, 2014, Will Chase on January 9, 2015, LaChanze on February 13, 2015, and Malcolm Gets on March 27, 2015.
