Photo Flash: First Look At Riverside Center's SOUVENIR Starring Andrea Kahane And Carson Eubank

Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in Fredericksburg, Virginia is one of the first theatres in the DC Metro area to welcome their patrons back to live theatre with the hilarious, over-the-top production of Stephen Temperley's Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins. This side-splitting play debuted off-Broadway before opening on Broadway in 2005, starring Tony Award® nominee Judy Kaye as Florence Foster Jenkins.

Producing Artistic Director, Patrick A'Hearn is pleased to announce the sensational pair at the heart of Souvenir: Riverside Center's Andrea Kahane will star as Florence Foster Jenkins, the aspiring singer incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Ms. Kahane will be joined onstage by Carson Eubank in his stage debut at Riverside as Jenkins' faithful accompanist, Cosmé McMoon.

Fans are sure to recognize the hilarious and heartwarming story which was the basis for the 2016 major motion picture, Florence Foster Jenkins starring Academy Award® winner, Meryl Streep as Florence Foster Jenkins and star of CBS' The Big Bang Theory, Simon Helberg as Cosmé McMoon.

The creative team is led by Riverside Center's Producing Artistic Director, Patrick A'Hearn as director.
