Cabaret at Bridge Street Theatre to Continue with Eric Michael Gillett, 4/1

"Words & Music: The Songbook Series", a four-program line-up of stellar cabaret entertainment curated by Tom Andersen, kicks off in Catskill on April 1 with five-time MAC Award winner Eric Michael Gillet in "Man About Town: The Wit and Wisdom of Noel Coward". This stylish and sophisticated evening will be presented at 8:00pm in Bridge Street Theatre's intimate "Speakeasy", located at 44 West Bridge Street in the Village of Catskill.

"Our audience absolutely swooned over Eric Michael's 'Careless Rhapsody: The Lyrics of Lorenz Hart' last season," says Bridge Street Theatre Associate Director Steven Patterson. "The man's a monster talent. And Coward is, of course, one of those songwriters who can make you howl with laughter with one tune and totally break your heart with the next. Combine the two and you've got a match made in cabaret heaven."

"Man About Town" will be performed once only on Friday April 1 at 8:00pm. Admission is $20 per person, $10 for patrons age 21 and under, and tickets can be pre-purchased at BrownPaperTickets.com or by calling them at 1-800-838-3006. Tickets can also be purchased at the door one half hour prior to the performance on a space available basis. A discounted Series Subscription for the entire "Words & Music" line-up, which includes appearances by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Julie Gold, Mark Nadler singing Cole Porter, and the duo of Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano, can also be purchased from BrownPaperTickets.com at $60 for all four evenings - like getting one show absolutely free!
