Portland Ovations Presents Bill Cosby 10/16

Portland Ovations, in association with Kirschner Concerts, presents Bill Cosby, live at Merrill Auditorium on Saturday, October 16th at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Cosby previously performed at Merrill Auditorium in 2006 and in 2001. He returns as part of Ovations' 80th season with both new and classic observations about raising children, marriage, eating healthy, and so much more.

Within a generation, few artists reach the status of legend, but after fifty years of success in virtually all media genres, William H. Cosby Jr. has earned that remarkable level of distinction. His accomplishments began in the 1960s when his stand-up comedy and best-selling albums took the country by storm. Since then, his ground breaking television, hit movies and best-selling books have inspired, enlightened and educated fans of all ages. Cosby is quite simply a National Treasure.

Ovations' presentation of Bill Cosby is sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank with additional media support from The Portland Phoenix. Tickets range from $27 to $59 for Portland Ovations Members and from $30 to $65 for the general public.

For tickets, visit PortTix, the Merrill Auditorium Box Office located at 20 Myrtle Street in Portland; call 207.842.0800; or visit the Ovations website at www.portlandovations.org.
