Just a Jersey Guy 2 -
More Altano’s Tales...
Friday, April 29, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. - Ciccone Theatre
Tickets: $15; $12 - students & seniors (65); $10 - BCC

Returning triumphant from his sold-out performance last spring, Brian Altano takes to our stage again with four more tales of New Jersey folk and their foibles. His stories are enchanting and exhilarating, a thousand fables spun into a rich tapestry of local color. Altano has recounted his original tales in Italy, Spain, Morocco, and Venezuela, and around the United States. Come and listen as the oldest narrative tradition, storytelling, comes alive in “George McGovern in Mrs. Oasa’s Bedroom” and “The Night Eddie Ford Drove Me Home,” two tales in Altano’s fascinating, irreverent, and moving repertoire. The stories are accompanied by the ironic, twisted, and hilarious artwork of Agent B.

Boulevard East -
Great Songs, Great Sounds
Sunday, April 3, 2005, at 3:00 p.m. - Ciccone Theatre

This talented and energetic vocal trio harkens back to a time when melodies were hum-able and lyrics were memorable, while also celebrating great contemporary songsmiths from theatre and cabaret. Formed in 1997 as Eastern Standard Time, Boulevard East performs with artful arrangements, lively piano, sparkling voices, and fabulous three-part harmony. The trio has been twice nominated for the MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs) Award. In a show brimming with intricate harmony, charming duets, and beautiful solos, the trio celebrates our metro “verve” from the West Side to Weehawken, and from Broadway to Boulevard East.

With his brilliant repartee, Coward leads his characters on a farcical romp that is as deliciously light and intoxicating as a fine glass of champagne. Originally played by Clifton Webb on Broadway, Gary Essendine, a charming matinee idol, finds himself entrapped in an ever increasing web of hilarious complications.
