GoldenAge "The Golden Age of Broadway" Replaces "I Love Piano"

"The Golden Age of Broadway" will be taking the place of I Love a Piano for the Arts on Tour schedule at 7:30 p.m. on February 16. The show will expand the repertoire from Irving Berlin and is a special concert that focuses on the wonderful music and lyrics from the greatest composers of the American Songbook. The musical pays tribute to iconic musicals such as "Guys and Dolls," "My Fair Lady," "Music Man," and West Side Story,". Broadway performers Michelle Knight and Patrick Ryan Sullivan, accompanied by a four-piece orchestra, will perform classics from Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Kern, Jerry Herman, Richard Rodgers, Frank Loesser, Kander & Ebb, and George Gershwin. The musical gems include "Everything's Coming Up Roses," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Don't Rain on My Parade," and "I Could Have Danced All Night". Song selections are from the most beloved shows and by the greatest composers and lyricists from Broadway.

MICHELLE KNIGHT - Michelle is an Orlando native and UCF grad. After being on Broadway with Jersey Boys, Michelle premiered and starred in the off Broadway musical Disenchanted (Lucille Lortel award Nominee-Lead Actress). Other credits include national tours of Grease(Rizzo) and the 30th anniversary tour of Annie. Michelle is often a leading player with the Orlando Philharmonic (My Fair Lady, Carousel, Guys and Dolls, How to Succeed.)and tours with the concert "Rhapsody & Rhythm: The Michelle has also been in several shows at Walt Disney World with the Voices of Liberty, and as Dory in Finding Nemo the Musical.   https://www.broadwayworld.com/people/Michelle-Knight/ and   https://www.growingbolder.com/happily-ever-after-926072/
  
PATRICK RYAN SULLIVAN - Patrick had the privilege of remounting the Jerry Orbach role in the National Tour of 42nd Street the Musical. Mark Bramble, the author of the show, was quoted as saying, "I have never seen a better Julian Marsh." Upon his recommendation and rave reviews across the country, Patrick was transferred to the Broadway show to take over for Tom Wopat (who had moved onto the lead in Chicago). In the Broadway company of TITANIC, Sullivan stood by for, and played three leads. Upon the closing he landed the role of Gaston in Broadway's Beauty and the Beast. He was the last Gaston to play the role at the incredible Palace Theatre in NYC and spent two years performing opposite Andre' McCardle (the original ANNIE), as Belle. He played Billy Flynn in the Macau, China company of CHICAGO, translated in three different languages. Patrick has performed in over 250 different productions, in 45 states and 9 countries.  https://www.patrickryansullivan.org

MeasureCSI Theater Department Presents: "Measure for Measure" 
CSI Theater Department presents: "Measure for Measure"
February 21 - 24 & February 28 - March 3
7:30 p.m.
CSI Fine Arts Theater

Once again, the plays of William Shakespeare give us insight and commentary on events in our own culture. Join the CSI Theater Department as we explore the roles of gender in our culture, and how they relate to mercy, hypocrisy, and the abuse of power. The city of Venice is one overrun by brothels and a loose set of morals. The Duke, unwilling to use his authority to institute change departs, leaving Angelo in charge. Angelo, initially reluctant, soon starts to reinstate older, harsher laws to force morality on the city and close the brothels. The changes highlight the hypocrisy of the ruling elite, and the temptation to abuse power. Tickets: $10/adults or $5/seniors or students. CSI students are free.

"But what about doctors and nurses who are surrounded by germs pretty much on a daily basis? In addition to their medical training, they have real-world experience fending off the flu, which double-qualifies them as being experts on this topic."
 
Here's a great article including all the good behaviors you can add to getting flu shot that will help fend off those pesky bugs starting with getting a good night's sleep and taking natural supplements.  Chicken soup? That might help too!
