Emile Pandolfi in Concert, Special Guest Vocalist Dana Russell
For audiences who adore familiar, well-loved classics and standards of the American Popular Songbook, there are few musical experiences that surpass ‘An Evening with Emile Pandolfi.’ It’s Piano. Passion. Emotion. Entertainment. It’s hearing familiar songs as though you are experiencing them for the very first time. It’s bewitching arrangements of beautiful ballads. Rich and sumptuous medleys of musical memories. For most, the sounds are treasured references and markers that line pathways of our collective lives.

http://www.oatlands.org/afternoontea/Stageworks Presents: Salt & Pepper
The Windmore Foundation for the Arts’ StageWorks Theater presents “Salt & Pepper”, a community theater production. Salt and Pepper is a gently provocative stage play about aging with grace, courage and humor. Nine characters lead us through eight intertwined scenes that celebrate life’s drama of maturing in a culture immersed with denial about aging. It is innovative and entertaining by virtue of the connectedness among the one-act scenes. Mature characters strive for personal happiness in a culture unfriendly to aging. The scenes deal with rekindled romance, terminal illness, caregiving, healing, and gifts.
