Asheville Community Theatre (ACT) has asked 32 local journalists,
teachers, bankers, realtors, restaurateurs, and more to hang up their suits and
ties for a few nights and perform onstage for a fundraiser like no other! These
businessmen are ready to prove that “there’s no business like show business” for
Business
Sings Broadway, a fundraiser that will feature songs from the silly to the
sublime. Business Sings Broadway will be held on the Mainstage at Asheville
Community Theatre on Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23 at 7:30 pm.
Tickets are $20 and are available at the ACT Box Office, by phone at
828-254-1320, or online at ashevilletheatre.org.
Business
Sings Broadway will be the only show this year that
will feature Sheriff Van Duncan and County Commissioner David Gantt performing
a duet. Other performances include Ashvegas founder and editor Jason Sandford
and Asheville Scene's James Fisher snapping it out to Sondheim, Vincenzo’s
Ristorante owner Dwight Butner crooning a classic, and the male cast members
from Spamalot in a reprise of “Lancelot.” Emcees for the Business Sings Broadway
fundraiser will be Bumcombe County Commissioner Holly Jones and LaZoom Tour
Guide Betsy “Augusta Wind” Puckett. Business
Sings Broadway is directed by Jerry Crouch with musical direction by
Lenora Thom.
Asheville Community Theatre will also
unveil “The
Spreadsheet,” a new signature cocktail
for the fundraiser. Cash bar will be open prior to and throughout the
performance.
Proceeds raised through Business Sings Broadway will
support operations at Asheville Community Theatre, a volunteer based non-profit
theatre entering its 69th year. Asheville Community Theatre is committed to building
community by providing opportunities to collaborate on creative projects.
