Arthur Newman News

The morning after they appeared at the Arthur Newman Theatre back in July, producer Les Michaels' phone was ringing off the hook with people saying it was one of the best shows they have seen in the desert in many a year and that they had to see it again and bring all their friends. Fortunately, Joslyn Center Director Peter Rittenhouse was getting the same calls and that helped him decide to extend Mr. Michaels Summer Cabaret Concert Series through August and now through December with another 10 dates.

One of the Desert's favorite singers, Jerome Elliott, who will be making his New York cabaret debut in the fall, gives Desert audiences a sneak preview of his East Coast-bound show, A Dry Heat on August 28th as part of Les Michaels' Summer Cabaret Series at the Joslyn Center's Arthur Newman Theatre.

Award winning and critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, Douglas Ladnier, who's appeared in more than 60 countries around the world, will bring his show 'I'm Your Man' to Arthur Newman Theatre at The Joslyn Center in Palm Desert on Saturday, August 21, 2010 at 7 PM. A favorite in the Broadway By The Year series at Town Hall where The New York Times hailed him simply as 'The best,' and Rex Reed raved in The New York Observer, 'This guy's melting baritone could single-handedly revive the art of the ballad, the love song and the heart-breaker.'

Emmy Award winning Host/Singer Jai Rodriguez began his career at age 18 in the role of Angel in the smash-hit Broadway Musical RENT. Other Broadway shows followed including: The Producers, Spinning Into Butter and Zanna Don't, where he created the title role of Zanna. In tandem with Broadway, Jai played the cabaret circuit and created his long-running 'Twisted Cabaret' - a concert series that ran for three consecutive years at one of New York City's most notable hotpots, Club XL.

It seems like Norman Lasiter just cannot take a break. Having performed a standing room only show at Billy Reed's earlier this year, which led to a headlining show to benefit The Rancho Mirage Public Library just a few months ago. This time around he'll return to a place where much of his success began several years ago, The Joslyn Center in Palm Desert and the Arthur Newman Theatre.

Renown cabaret singer Craig Pomranz will take the stage at Arthur Newman Theatre in The Joslyn Center on Sunday, August 1, 2010 as part of the Summer Cabaret Series featuring entertainment presented by producer and promoter Les Michaels.
