Songs of the American Theatre
Not only an actor and lyric soprano who gave more than 100 concerts in the USA and abroad, she was also a formidable supporter of the newly formed Bristol Arts Museum in the 1960s and 70s. We are delighted to welcome two Boston-based cabaret singers, Francis Gardner and Tristyn Sepersky, who will be joining our own Cara Massey. With expert accompanist Samantha Prindiville, they will dazzle with songs from Broadway that span the 1920s to the 1970s, inspired by Ethel’s 1974 benefit concert for the Bristol Art Museum, billed as “Songs of the American Theatre” and given in the Colt School Auditorium in Bristol.
Tickets are $20 for Linden Place members and $25 for general admission.
Francis Garner is a cabaret artist who has appeared on stages in Boston (Club Cafe,) Provincetown, New Bedford and New York City (Don’t Tell Mama, PANGEA.) Critic John Amodeo of CabaretScenes calls him “one of the Boston-area’s most promising performers.”
