"Guys & Dolls Jr."
Cambridge Performing Arts Centre, Cambridge
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City. We're introduced to characters: Sarah Brown, the uptight "mission doll", out to reform the evildoers of Times Square; Sky Materson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the nightclub performer whose chronic cold is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game. Everything works out in the end, thanks to twist and turns of the hilarious, fast-paced book which takes us from Times Square to Havana to the sewers of Manhattan, with a bright and brassy musical score. Guys and Dolls is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy- and a perfect introduction to the American musical.

Dwight Lennox & Trio
Scottish Rite Auditorium
941 Wheeling Avenue, Cambridge
Growing up in New York, Dwight honed his talent in the church choir.  He went on to study and perform musical styles as diverse as country and rock 'n' roll.  But his gospel roots, combined with such childhood influences as Nancy Wilson, Nat Cole and Sarah Vaughn, made jazz a natural showcase for his talent.  From blues to ballads and jazz to swing, Dwight shines.  His impeccable instincts and mellow sound have garnered the attention of some of the finest musicians in the industry.  He's performed with Sammy Tucker and renowned organist Hank Marr.  He's been showcased alongside the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Bobbie Humphrys, Ramsey Lewis and Herbie Mann.  As a featured vocalist with the 17-piece Columbus Jazz Orchestra, he's shared the stage with Harold Jones and Carmen Bradford.  Dwight's fluid style lends itself to a vast repertoire from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, James Ingram, Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls and many more artists.  But his raw abilities are uniquely evidenced in his performance of original music.  He's sung on numerous recordings, including works for commercial and corporate use.  He's an accomplished studio session singer and not surprisingly, Dwight is also a talented songwriter himself.
Tickets are $15.00 per person.  Show begins at 3:00 p.m.
