Nothing says Valentine's Day like love songs and chocolate, both of which are available at the Paul's Players production of Love Notes. This concert of love songs from Broadway, served with desserts and coffee, will be presented on February 11, 2012 at 7:30 p.m., and February 12, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. Performances are at St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, 27475 Five Mile Road, Livonia. Tickets prices are $10.00. To reserve tickets, call (248) 347-4134.
Love Notes features singers Allison Soranno Boufford and Jason Wilhoite, along with instrumentalists Sue Nienhaus, Michael Soranno, and Paul Soranno, performing selections from a wide variety of Broadway composers such as Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Weber, and Jason Robert Brown. The performances will be followed by a dessert buffet, coffee bar, and reception with the performers.
Boufford and Wilhoite are active members in the local theater scene, performing regularly in musical and dramatic productions at Farmington Players Barn and Spotlight Players in Canton. The pair are graduates of the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) program at Churchill High School and, according to Wilhoite, have "appeared on stage countless times together." They reunite for this production at the request of their high school choral director, Pat Hutchison, who founded the Paul's Players community theater group in 2011. Boufford says she is "extremely excited" to be collaborating with her friends in support of Paul's Players premier season. She describes Hutchison as "tremendously dedicated to education and tireless in her efforts to promote community theater and the performing arts."
"It's a thrill for me to have these two on stage together as part of Paul's Players premier season," Hutchison says. "I couldn't be prouder of the fine performers they've become, and this concert will be a great way for people to celebrate Valentine's Day."
