The Kingston Trio
Truly a crowd pleasing event, an evening with The Kingston Trio is pure fun.
Exuding charisma, energy and charm, their performances are jam-packed with
jokes, history, fabulous memories, and, of course, all of their classic hits
including, “Tom Dooley,” “MTA” and “Worried Man.” As founding member Bob
Shane put it, “There is a tremendous demand for our type of acoustic music,
and not just from those who remember The Kingston Trio. All people want is
for us to sing a song, tell a story, and make it good.”

Diavolo
Diavolo was founded in 1992 in Los Angeles by Jacques Heim to create
large-scale interdisciplinary performances which examine the ways
individuals act with their environment. The company is comprised of dancers,
gymnasts and actors who create performances collaboratively under Heim's
guidance. The sets are outrageous and surrealistic and form an intrinsic
part of each piece of work. Everyday items such as doors, chairs and
stairways provide the back-drop for dramatic movement-leaping, flying,
twirling-that creates metaphors for the challenge of relationships, the
absurdities of life and the struggle to maintain our humanity in an
increasingly technological world.

Book Jeffrey Lane Music and Lyrics David Yazbek Based on the film starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine
We're off to the Riviera with Broadway's smash-hit musical comedy, Dirty
Rotten Scoundrels. This is the story of two very funny con men who try to
out-con each other. When it becomes apparent that the Riviera isn't big
enough for the both of them, they make a winner-take-all wager over the
fortunes of a naïve American soap heiress: the first one to "clean her out"
can make the other clear out and keep the Riviera and its unsuspecting
tourists to himself! This hysterical musical comedy will have you laughing
and rolling in the aisles!
