8-23-14 “Bringing Back The Best of Broadway”

I had the pleasure of accompanying Lisa Rochelle with special guest Marc Krause featuring the music of various Broadway composers, most notably Rodgers and Hart and Bock and Harnick (celebrating the 50th anniversary of their masterpiece FIDDLER ON THE ROOF). It was at Somers Point Country Club. Lisa was recently featured in Broadway World for her recent Sondheim concert. Click here for more information on the Sondheim Concert.

On 7-14-14, auditions with some incredible YOUNG talent from all over (Ohio, New Mexico, among other places) and on 7-18-14, I got to accompany for the wickedly talented Susan Blackwell.

6-20-14 Pot Luck Dinner at Clinton- “Wizard Of Oz”

Steven assumed the role of director/arranger for The Pot Luck Dinner. Wonderful director Carmen Lamar chose Steven’s arrangement of Jitterbug, Optimistic Voices, Merry Old Land Of Oz and Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Steven created a tiny “script” for the kids- who performed beautifully. Prior to the show, was a Poetry Slam and following the show was the pot luck dinner.  Great to catch up with incoming students, and old friend, Andrea Burns.  Kudos to Morgan for stepping in to the role of the Lion.  and BRAVO! to everyone involved.
