South Orange Performing Arts Center presents An Evening with Betty Buckley and Kenny Werner on Saturday, November 21 at 8 pm at the Sopac Main Theatre.

Broadway-star and Tony-award winner Betty Buckley comes to SOPAC for an intimate cabaret performance of the music that made her famous, as well as classics from throughout her career.  A fixture of stage and screen, Buckley is respected for her ability to capture the human poignancy of any character and for transforming those emotions through song.  She is joined by accompanist and established jazz performer Kenny Werner.

Tickets are priced at $68, $58 and $48.  They can be purchased online at tickets.sopacnow.org or by phone by calling (973) 313 ARTS.

Almost 10 years in the making, SOPAC evolved from an idea of then Village of South Orange President Bill Calabrese to bring a movie theater to town. The center evolved into a performance space that presents elite artists in an intimate theater and feature cinema and event space. It created dozens of jobs in the area, offers arts education and spur snew partnerships. It has also become a community gathering point and a regional point of arts pride. In its first ten months, SOPAC featured superstars Nancy Wilson, Olympia Dukakis, Paquito D'Rivera and Yo-Yo Ma among others. Praise came in from media like the New York Times and Star Ledger and from important politicians such as New Jersey's Senate President, Richard Codey, Essex County Executive Joseph D'Vincenzo and Governor Corzine himself, who selected SOPAC to host a public forum open to all in the state.
