IVRT to Presents LOVE, DOLLY at The Claremont School of Music This Month

Inland Valley Repertory Theatre (IVRT) has announced its concert performance of "Love, Dolly," a celebration of the life and career of Dolly Parton, starring Kim Eberhardt on February 26.

"Love, Dolly" is the #1 Dolly Parton tribute band on the west coast. Kim Eberhardt played Dolly Parton in two hit productions of "9 to 5: The Musical" and brings her incredible energy to this show with all-time smash hits like 9 to 5, Jolene, Islands in the Stream, and I Will Always Love You and many more.

"This show is my love letter to Dolly. It's an honor to perform some of the best-known and most beloved Dolly songs while sharing wonderful and inspiring stories about Dolly's life and career," Eberhardt said. "She is a national treasure!"

Patrons can save on tickets and support local theatre with a $300 full-season membership, and it includes "Love, Dolly", the IVRT Supper Club series, "Art" and two exclusive (member-only) shows "Jerry's Girls" on April 15 and 16 and "Love, Linda" on September 16 and 17.
