Reji Woods Performs SOMEONE TO FALL BACK ON at Ware Center Tonight

The Ware Center's cabaret series is set to show off the musical theater chops of Lancaster's own Reji Woods, who will perform in "Someone to Fall Back On" at the Ware Center tonight, Jan. 30, at 7:30 p.m.

Woods, a native of Florida who these days calls Lancaster home, has performed throughout the United States, as well as in Paris, Amsterdam and India. A versatile performer with a powerhouse voice, his eclectic musical style draws not only from musical theater and jazz, but from gospel and R&B. In New York City, he has been a co-founder of Bending Threads cabaret company, and has racked up credits off-Broadway as the soloist in Black Nativity and as Madame Parnelle/Big Jerome in Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe. Regional credits include Smokey Joe's Café, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Seussical: The Musical (as Mr. Mayor), Dreamgirls, Guys & Dolls (as Nicely Nicely Johnson), and Little Shop of Horrors (as Seymour). In Lancaster, Woods is a regular with Lancaster's PRiMA Theatre, where he most recently rocked out in '80s Relived, and recently was Noah for Sight & Sound Theatres's Noah.

The show will explore a variety of relationships through song and feature special guests Julie Morimoto & Michael Fisher. Tickets, $25, can be purchased at www.ArtsMU.com or by calling 717- 871-7600.
