Paula Poundstone
July 24, 6:00 and 8:30pm
Tickets: $42 Adult, $37 Senior
Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone, and a can of Diet Pepsi, PAULA POUNDSTONE is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity. The Boston Globe said, "Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a Jazz musician... swinging in unexpected directions without a plan, without a net." Paula is so quick and unassuming that audience members at her live shows often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and debating whether the random people she talked to were "plants." Paula is also a regular contributor to NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!"

Count Basie Orchestra
July 26, 4:00 & 8:00pm
Tickets: $42 Adult, $37 Senior
Count Basie introduced several generations of listeners to the Big Band sound and left an influential catalogue. Basie is remembered by many who worked for him as being considerate of musicians and their opinions, modest, relaxed, fun-loving, drily witty, and always enthusiastic about his music. As he summed up the key to his understated style, in his autobiography, "I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter." -from Wikipedia
