Tina Sloan - Changing Shoes
March 17 & 18 at 7:00 PM

"Guiding Light" fans will be drooling over all the "behind the camera" tidbits . . . and those who wouldn't watch a soap, on a dare, also find (Sloan's) monologue compelling and moving and funny. As she steps into each pair of shoes, she lets us walk in them with her." -- Atlanta Theatre Review

For 26 years, millions of fans have known Tina Sloan as nurse Lillian Raines on the soap opera "Guiding Light." Now she takes the stage to tell her story from a unique perspective: through her changing shoes.

Using her own experiences, Sloan "walks" us through life transitions that every woman can relate to, beginning with her college-girl pink Capezios and her first pair of Chanel pumps. And then there's her "Guiding Light" role, where she started out in a pair of white high heels and a fitted nurse's uniform, and finished off in sneakers and modern nurse's scrubs. Film clips from Sloan's roles in television and the movies add to the fun.

This uplifting and entertaining one-woman show tackles the real-world issues women face as they get older, including looks, love lives and sexuality, changing careers, the empty nest, caring for aging parents, and sense of self. After all, aging is at times both outrageous and hilarious - and who knows more about reinvention and perseverance than an actress who began her career as the star of show, then became the mother of the star . . . and then the grandmother of the star? Sloan's tour de force performance provides plenty of food for thought on how to celebrate all the stages of our lives.

Changing Shoes is about the beautiful, life changing and sometimes difficult discoveries we make when we least expect them. You'll laugh, you'll cry - and you'll absolutely love this show about one woman's search for the meaning of life in a closet full of shoes.

Torme Sings Torme - StEve March Torme
March 19 at 3:00 PM & 7:00 PM

"StEve March Torme is more than a jazz singer - he's a consummate entertainer." -- Music Connection Magazine

StEve March Torme, son of the late, great jazz singer Mel Torme, has been blessed with an amazing musical talent of his own. In this classy tribute to the life and music of his late father, March Torme sings the songs that his father made famous, and performs them in his own inimitable style.

March Torme reprises such hits as "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Mountain Greenery," "LuLu's Back in Town," "The Folks Who Live on the Hill," "Ruby" and many more. He doesn't imitate his famous parent, but instead honors him and personalizes his story.

Singer/songwriter March Torme began his music career in the late 1970s, and has worked with such luminaries as Liza Minelli and Quincy Jones. He has wooed audiences in every type of venue, from intimate jazz clubs to performing arts centers to festivals worldwide (Australia, England, Japan and Canada, to name a few).

Jazz Scene Magazine says, "When you add up all the plusses this entertainer offers, the singing, the piano playing and related musical talents, his articulation, the charisma, it's time that the general public ‘discovers' him . . ." You're invited to join us for this very personal musical retrospective, and discover him for yourself!

Dinner & Show packages are available for this show.
