SYNOPSIS
The same team that brought you A Tribute to Tony Bennett and Viva Las Vegas is back this January! This year's show will feature the work of the late, great Quincy Jones. If you caught The Color Purple last fall, this show will feature many of the cast members from that production as we honor Quincy's work in film, television and radio. This production will also feature students from Pleasant Valley as they perform a tribute to The Wiz. This production returns as an annual fundraiser to help support the theatre.
