Sharp Satire THE CLIMBERS Opens Tonight at Metropolitan Playhouse
THE CLIMBERS is a sharp satire from the Gilded Age of both vulgar competitors for wealth and status, as well as the censorious critics who resisted them. In Fitch's incisive eye, the scramble to assert superiority is a curse for all sides in a play that is a welcome appraisal of a divided culture from a century past. His vote for compassion and empathy is one that should count again. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast in costume!

The Perfect Gentlemen Play The Grove April 14
April 14th, for one night only, The Grove Theatre presents The Perfect Gentlemen, whose harmonies and humor go back to the days of Vaudeville. The group recreates the close harmonies of such groups as The Ink Spots and the Pied Pipers. The Perfect Gentlemen shift between vocal styles, singing a cappella, accompanied by guitar or ukulele, or playing the antique Deagan Organ Chimes. The group's signature piece, Salute to the 20th Century, is a humorous take on the de-evolution of music over the last century, illustrated by singing the same song in the style of Barbershop, Dixieland, Blues, Big Band, Doo-Wop, Bluegrass, Disco, Techno Punk, and Rap, complete with visuals.
