US Bank Community Theatre Series
Brighton Beach Memoirs
by Neil Simon - Dinner Theatre
Thursday – Saturday,
November 19-21, 2009 6:30pm -
Tickets: $25.00

Brighton Beach Memoirs is part one of Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a Brooklyn teenager in 1937 living with his family in crowded, lower middle class circumstances. Eugene, the young Neil Simon, is the narrator and central character. His mind is full of fiercely fantasized dreams of baseball and dimly fantasized images of girls. The play captures a few days in the life of a struggling household that includes Eugene's hard working father, his sharp tongued mother, his older and vastly more experienced brother, his widowed aunt and her two young daughters. As Eugene's father says, "If you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't live in this house." It is a deeply appealing play that deftly mixes drama with comedy.

Greg Schaber - blues Saturday, January 30, 2010 7:30pm In blues, there are some musicians who are happy to walk in the footsteps of the greats, content to recreate old recordings. Then there are others who, while honoring their musical ancestors, seek to make their own mark. Greg Schaber is firmly among the latter, a strikingly original singer, musician and composer who has found his own, unique voice in the blues. An accomplished, award-winning electric blues guitarist, for the past 15 years, the Kentucky native has increasingly focused his considerable talents on acoustic blues, in styles from deep Delta bottleneck guitar to the lighter, countrified finger picking of the North Carolina Piedmont.
