Cleveland Stage Alliance (CSA) presents...
“THE DIVAS: Radio Royalty”
at the BOP STOP, now part of
the Cleveland Music Settlement
on Wednesday, April 20, 2016 at 8 PM.
Only $15
In “The Divas: Radio Royalty,” CSA will take on some of
the biggest names (and biggest personalities) in pop music history. From
legends like Aretha and Madonna to current stars like Adele and Beyonce
with some Whitney and Mariah sprinkled in along the way, these icons
will provide the inspiration for this one night only event. Some of
Northeast Ohio’s top theater talent comes together to perform new and
classic arrangements of familiar tunes accompanied by a live band.
“The Divas: Radio Royalty” is the sixth concert in the CSA
series that celebrates various beloved aspects of pop culture in a
festive evening of song. Following the current trend set in New York by
such popular series’ as “Broadway Sings,” “54 Sings” and others, “CSA
Presents…” will utilize a rotating cast of local talent to perform
material outside of the musical theater canon, with a theatrical flair!
The concert is produced by CSA founder Eric Fancher and
local actor/director Joanna May Hunkins, and music directed by Lawrence
Wallace. Fancher has appeared onstage at Beck Center for the Arts,
Lakeland Civic Theatre, Blank Canvas Theatre, Cain Park and Near West
Theatre. Hunkins is the associate director of The Musical Theater
Project. She directed last year’s critically acclaimed production of
Godspell at Cain Park and has worked as an actor and director throughout
the Cleveland area. Wallace has music directed at Near West Theatre,
Blank Canvas Theatre and True North Cultural Arts.
