Bristol Male Voice Choir
The Paramount Center will host this special concert September 4, 2008, featuring the Bristol Male Voice Choir. Showcasing a variety of music drawn from around the world, the choir's wide repertoire includes operatic choruses, sacred arrangements, spirituals, and songs from stage and screen. As part of their 40th Anniversary celebrations this year, this prestigious group will be touring the United States flying the flag for the City of Bristol, England, at four American towns also named "Bristol" with their first concert scheduled for the twin cities of Bristol Virginia-Tennessee. The culmination of their tour will be a performance at the 9/11 Remembrance Gala Concert at Carnegie Hall, New York, hosted by the Mayor's Office and the British Consul.
The tradition of Male Voice Choirs in Great Britain began at the end of the 19th century in the coal mining areas of South Wales and continues today as an important part of English culture. This event marks a unique opportunity to experience the adrenaline-inducing, harmoniously rich, and powerfully resonate sound that is the hallmark of Welsh male voice choirs.
Proceeds from the performance will benefit the Bristol Historical Association's E.W. King House Project. The Association plans to restore the E.W. King House as a museum dedicated to local history at the turn of the 20th Century. This special concert is dedicated to the memory of Bill King, a grandson of E.W. King, in honor of his commitment to this project as well as his generous involvement in countless other community organizations and philanthropic activities.
Tickets are $50 Patrons, $25 Adults, $20 Seniors/Students, $10 Children under age 12

LINDA LAVIN
Lavin’s delectable one-woman show Songs & Confessions of a One-Time Waitress (“with a few men on the side”) recalls the ups and downs or her illustrious career. While she tips her apron to “Alice” with its familiar theme song and recollections of those years, that’s only a mouth-watering appetizer to a full course menu of great tunes and entertaining anecdotes as Lavin shares warm, touching and hilarious morsels of a life being well-lived -- and truly relished. Backed up by a sassy, swinging trio led by the inimitable Billy Stritch, Linda Lavin easily illustrates why that “new girl in town” is as endearing and lovable as ever.
Linda Lavin returned to the New York stage during spring 2008 to star in Lincoln Center’s new Paul Rudnick comedy The New Century, for which she received the 2008 Drama Desk Award as Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play.

NUNSENSE
Starring SALLY STRUTHERS
Nunsense begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God (two time Emmy winner, Sally Struthers), has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of “GREASE.”
Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary
Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named
Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina;
and the delightfully wacky Sister Amnesia, the nun who lost her
memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

MAN 1, BANK 0
In MAN 1, BANK 0 Patrick Combs tells the amazing-but-true story of how he deposited a $95,093.35 junk-mail check marked ‘non-negotiable’ - hoping to spread a little banking cheer to tellers - and how it erupted into a staggering and funny David vs. Goliath - like adventure that still continues today if you count this internationally touring, award winning, off-Broadway one-man show about the incident. What happens after the bank cashes the ridiculous check? To name only a few things: angry banking officers threatening “jail time” and “death”; the nation’s leading authority on banking coming out of retirement; astonishing legal twists; and worldwide media coverage (including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Good Morning America and calls from Letterman & Leno).
