From their 1924 Broadway hit, LADY, BE GOOD, until George’s untimely death in 1937, the brothers composed over two dozen scores for Broadway and Hollwood. The Gershwin catalogue includes Porgy and Bess, Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris, along with such standards as I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, and The Man I Love. We will be treated to the song stylings of some of the area’s finest singers--Leslie Fitzwater, Becky Spice, Matt McNabb, and Tommy Lueck. They’ll be joined on stage by our Rising Star, Emily Pogorelc. Music Director Paula Foley Tillen will once again be on piano, while narrators Susan Loveridge and Scott Kopischke will provide a few stories about these iconic brothers who made such a lasting impact on the American songbook. March 21 and 22nd, 2011 LOVE, SEX, AND THE I.R.S Sharing a room can help a fella save a dime, but sharing a tax return is a little trickier. Jon and Leslie are roomies and good buddies, but the I.R.S. thinks the men are a married couple because of Jon’s money-saving plan to list Leslie as his beloved wife on his tax return. When an audit notice comes due, the bosom buddies do what any self-respecting taxpayer would do: they figure out who looks better in a dress. April 28-May 2nd, 2011
