Phun In Phoenicia Tonight

There are several events in Phoenicia tonight that are worth mentioning. The first is the Shandaken Theatrical Society benefit. Many WCA members are involved with the theatre. It is a wonderful asset to the community! Here is the details on that event.

“Songs From the Silver Screen”
The Red Carpet Leads To Phoenicia

On Saturday, November 5, the STS Playhouse off Main Street in Phoenicia will be host to Songs From the Silver Screen, a gala benefit concert for the 124-year-old theatre.

Renowned jazz cabaret duo Ann Osmond & Dennis Yerry are joined by Grammy nominated writer-performer Robert Burke Warren for a show featuring an eclectic mix of memorable movie music, spanning many decades and styles.

“From Fred Astaire to Judy Garland, Tom Jones to Dionne Warwick, Irving Berlin to Harold Arlen and Burt Bacharach to Simon & Garfunkel; we’ve had such a great time compiling this world-class material,” say Osmond and Yerry. “And it’s a real treat collaborating with Robert Warren. We relish every opportunity to work together.”

Last year, Songs From the Silver Screen was performed for a sell-out crowd in Woodstock. The trio is excited about the opportunity to share it with a larger audience. “For those who did catch the show last year and look forward to the encore performance, we are reprising much of the original program and have added several new “reel” surprises as well,” adds Yerry.

Ann Osmond is a singer and actor with roots in the theatre and Dennis Yerry, an accomplished jazz pianist and composer. Their unique arrangements and rich harmonies have a fresh energy and an air of timeless elegance. Robert Burke Warren, best known locally as Uncle Rock, is a performer whose experience extends from rock and roll clubs to the Victoria Palace Theatre in London's West End.

The concert is a benefit for The STS Raise The Roof Fund. “This has been a very tough year for our community, this benefit will allow us to make much needed repairs to our building” says STS Board President Linda Burkhardt. “Without repairs we could experience severe damage this winter.”

The concert is on November 5 at 8 pm. Reserved seating tickets are $20 and can be purchased at STSPlayhouse.com. Drinks and refreshments will be available and everyone will have a chance to win valuable door prizes. For more info call STS at 845-688-2279.
