SHOWSTOPPERS: UPTUNE & A BALLAD Set for Laurie Beechman, 2/3 & 10

EMG Collective/Singers Forum presents two separate shows of SHOWSTOPPERS: UPTUNE & A BALLAD on Feb. 3 and 10 at 7 p.m. at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Not all performers appear on both nights.

Eric Michael Gillett and Melanie Vaughan will host the evening, featuring musical direction by Jeff Cubeta and Erich Rausch.

"Host Gillett introduced a succession of performers whose ages ranged from 15 to 80** as if a proud parent. The teachers, all of whom are professional artists with their own careers, seem particularly invested in nurturing a next generation, no matter when the vocalist finds a need to share his inner voice. We're making the world a better place to listen to, one vocalist at a time." -- Alix Cohen, Woman Around Town
