The Emelin Theatre has added two November concerts to its season with Simone-the accomplished jazz singer and daughter of Nina Simone- on November 7, and legendary girl group vocalist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ronnie Spector on November 15. In addition to the line-up of concerts this fall, including country music chart-topper Bryan White (October 24) and Tony Award-winner and jazz singer Ann Hampton Callaway (October 25), the Emelin's 2008-2009 season will feature film, music, family programs and more.
The Prince Music Theater celebrates two Broadway masters - John Kander and Fred Ebb - in a newly re-imagined production of THE WORLD GOES 'ROUND, the smash hit Off-Broadway show that explores the entire career of one of Broadway's most extraordinary creative teams.
The Emelin's family programming this year expands its strong tradition of quality, fun and enriching performing arts events for younger audiences with more shows throughout the season. Super Saturdays: Family Fun highlights include the highly praised black light puppet show, The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia's The Very Hungry Caterpillar, celebrated folk singer Tom Chapin, several books brought to life by Theatreworks USA productions, kindie rockers Hot Peas N' Butter, as well as Film Club Jr. in collaboration with the New York International Children's Film Festival.
If it is true that everyone wants to be famous - that everyone wants to be on TV - then 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' is, among other things, a demonstration of this truth.
