BILL RUDMAN and NANCY MAIER
"Sweet Talk. . . .A Pre-Valentine's Day Cabaret"

also featuring Kate Rockwell and Stephen Trafton

Appearing at Nighttown in Cleveland Heights
Sunday, February 12
7:00 PM
 $10 cover, no minimum

An evening of love songs from musical theater and the Great American 
Songbook - some touching, some witty and all irresistible!

Music from the great composers and lyricists of the Great American 
Songbook including the Gershwin brothers, Rodgers and Hart, Lerner and 
Loewe, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim.

Presented by Bill Rudman and Nancy Maier, internationally known 
authorities on The Great American Songbook.   Bill Rudman says, "we want 
to recapture the intimate atmosphere of a New York cabaret in the 1940s 
or 50s, when audiences flocked to the best clubs to hear stories told in 
brilliantly crafted songs. And of course, Nighttown is the perfect place 
to do that."

BILL RUDMAN is the artistic director of Musical Theater Education 
Programming, whose mission is to foster a deeper understanding and 
appreciation of the American musical and the Great American Songbook by 
creating programs that educate as well as entertain people of all ages. 
His weekly radio program "Footlight Parade" has been heard for 22 years 
on WCLV 104.9 FM, and for the past eight years in national syndication. 
In addition, he produces and hosts "On the Aisle" for XM Satellite 
Radio's all-Broadway Channel 28. Bill has co-produced a number of jazz 
albums celebrating classic American song and featuring such artists as 
Peggy Lee and Maxine Sullivan (one of his Sullivan discs was nominated 
for a Grammy Award). Bill created and co-hosts (usually with Joe Hunter) 
the concert series "The Song Is You!" - a celebration of the Great 
American Songbook - which this season is being presented by Tri-C 
JazzFest, the Stocker Center, the Jewish Community Center and the 
Cleveland Play House. In 2000 he became the first recipient of the 
Robert Bergman Prize for his work in arts education and community outreach.

NANCY MAIER is well known in the Cleveland area as a music director, 
vocal coach and accompanist. She spent years in New York City honing her 
skills in these areas, along with doing nightclub work as a 
singer-pianist. Nancy is currently music director/coach for the 
acclaimed musical theater program at Baldwin-Wallace College under the 
direction of Victoria Bussert, and she is resident music director for 
Cain Park, where her musical direction has included "A Little Night 
Music," "Into the Woods," "Big River," "The Music Man," "Side Show," 
"Goblin Market, "Avenue X, "tick, tick...BOOM!" and the recent "Songs 
for a New World." She has also music-directed for Great Lakes Theater 
Festival, Porthouse Theatre, the Cleveland Play House, Beck Center and 
Karamu House. She married to jazz pianist Dan Maier.
