by Roger Catlin - Nov 16, 2024
Signature Theatre’s cabaret series has been mining the riches of the 1960s for some time, from Bacharach to Woodstock, with repeat visits to Motown. A new show diverges to Memphis for its own flavor of gritty soul and the gems that came from its own indelible record label.

Farmington Players Present SUITE SURRENDER
by Stephi Wild - Sep 8, 2022
The Farmington Players are presenting Suite Surrender, a madcap screwball comedy that pays homage to the classic farces of the 1930s and 1940s. There is plenty of fast-paced dialogue, slamming doors, physical comedy, and escalating stakes.

With SOUL, Stax Lives Again at Center Stage
by Jack L. B. Gohn - May 12, 2018
We want the same songs we (or our parents or grandparents, as the case may be) grew up with, every note of the horn arrangements, and the original singer's voices, imparting each smidgen of intonation and pacing that the original singe added to the song.

Fine, we've reached 1967 in the story, so here he is! And damn, doesn't he sound good?
