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 Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20

Business
Sings Broadway was unveiled in 2014 as a summer
fundraiser for the theatre. This year’s cast features returning folks like Joe
Scully (Chef/Co-Owner, Chestnut, Corner Kitchen), Holly Jones (Bincombe County
Commissioner; Director of Member Services, YWCA USA) and Frank Salvo
(Owner/Innkeeper, 1889 WhiteGate Inn & Cottage) as well as newcomers including
Dr. Barry Pate, realtor Tasha Pepi, and Jay Richardson, New Belgium Brewery’s
general manager.
Business
Sings Broadway is directed by Jerry Crouch with
musical direction by Lenora Thom. “So many people in our business
community have performance backgrounds,” said Jerry Crouch, the show’s director.
“Business Sings Broadway is a
perfect way for them to take the stage for the evening without having to commit
to an 8-week rehearsal process and a 4-week run.”
“We’d certainly encourage these
folks to audition for any of our shows!” added Crouch.
Asheville Community Theatre will also
unveil “The
Capital Asset,” 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 71st year. Asheville Community Theatre is committed to building
community by providing opportunities to collaborate on creative projects.
