Steve Lippia - Simply Sinatra
Sit back and close your eyes…imagine yourself at the Coconut Grove in the heyday of the Rat Pack…out comes Ol’ Blue Eyes. That’s the experience you’ll have when Steve Lippia takes the Fine Arts stage in his show “Simply Sinatra”. Lippia has quickly become one of the country’s most prominent vocalists and interpreters of classic pop music. His show, Simply Sinatra, is a rich, powerful celebration of some of the greatest music this country has known with a hot, driving 10-piece band behind him. His natural sound and style is a remarkable combination of his own honest musical interpretation, combined with influences from some of the best singers of this era. It is immediately apparent that Lippia’s sound is reminiscent of the young Frank Sinatra combined with that of Harry Connick, Jr. and Bobby Darin. Steve Lippia brings to life the music and lyrics of our greatest composers like Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen, and Rodgers and Hart. His repertoire includes such great standards as: I’ve Got You Under My Skin, The Lady is a Tramp, Mack the Knife, Just the Way You Are, and That’s Life, just to name a few.

The Edlos A Cappella Broadway
The Edlos are one the best-known groups in contemporary a cappella. The group consists of four classically-trained vocalists who continually break new ground in their never ending pursuit of a cappella diversity and originality. Described as an “a cappella quartet supreme . . . splendid. . . magnificent. . .” and “on the verge of world fame” by The San Francisco Chronicle, they are remembered equally for their musicianship and their infectiously funny and entertaining stage presence. Whatever songs are being presented, the EDLOS always include comedy in their stage show. When the EDLOS put on a show, they do way more than stand on the stage and sing the tunes. There are lights, smoke, costumery, tomfoolery, wigs, and assorted mayhem, that all combine to make a unforgettable performance! The Edlos’ A Cappella Broadway is a revue comprised entirely of original a cappella arrangements by The Edlos themselves. It presents a full evening of the best-known and best-loved hit songs from Broadway’s finest productions, all delivered with the unique brand of costumery and humor that has come to define every EDLOS performance. Representative shows include The Music Man, Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables, West Side Story, The Fantastiks, Hair, Guys & Dolls, Cabaret, and many more. If you’re a fan of a cappella or the music of Broadway -- or just a fan of entertainment that makes you laugh and feel good -- then, The Edlos’ A Cappella Broadway is a must-see show you won’t want to miss!

The Odd Couple (Female Version)
Neil Simon's famous update of his contemporary classic starts with a group of women friends playing their regular game of Trivial Pursuit. This week, the coterie is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a divorcee who freely admits to being a slob: "I leave a mess when I read a book." Late to arrive is Florence Unger, a stickler for detail who would try the patience of a saint, and who has unfortunately just become separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the fuss-budget decide to room together -- with hilarious results! Within days, Florence's obsessive habits start taking their toll on Olive and their friends. The only remedy Olive can think of (a pair of brothers from Barcelona) disastrously backfires, and the two women are forced to agree on one thing -- even the best of friends sometimes make the worst of roommates.
