Join Actors Theatre of Indiana for five great nights with two stupendous guests in December. Come celebrate the holidays with ATI! Tickets are available at ATIstage.org. All performances are at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
Wayne Powers
Dec. 13 & 14, 7:30 p.m.
Wayne Powers
Step up your holidays, and don’t miss an unforgettable evening with ATI and Wayne Powers. Known as one of the last of the real “Saloon Singers,” Powers is internationally acclaimed for his extensive work on stage, screen, recordings and his 20-year network TV career.
“Like the jazz greats before him – Sinatra, Eckstine, Prysock, Hartman – Powers understands that great singers are equal parts poets and performers, technicians, and thespians. As he’s proven over the course of a long career, he’s the complete package.” – Jazziz Magazine
For two special nights, Dec. 13 and 14, with his jazz trio, “The Great American Songbook” is Powers’ playground.
“Perhaps the best interpreter of popular song and jazz since Sinatra himself.” – Brett Dean, Leader Shout Section Big Band
Along with a swingin’ 108th birthday tribute to Frank Sinatra, you can also expect some Hollywood stories, laughs, surprises and a generous helping of Christmas cheer.
“Frank Sinatra once told me, ‘I don’t care if my name lives on, I just pray that the music lives on.’ Wayne Powers answers Frank’s prayer.” – Tom Dressen, comedian who toured with Sinatra for 13 years
Katy Gentry
Dec. 15 & 16 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 17 at 2:30 p.m.
Katy Gentry
Serenade in the joy of the holidays with the golden voice of Katy Gentry from Dec. 15 to 17. Known for her portrayal and celebration of the Judy Garland songbook, audiences will hear the Christmas classics infused with contemporary and religious favorites of her own.
Gentry will ring in the season with Special Guest and Indiana’s own Piano Man, Eric Baker. From the Jazz Kitchen to his sellout Billy Joel tributes at Feinstein’s, Baker will join the irreplaceable Greg Wolff on drums and Christian Starnes on bass.
With Gentry’s signature storytelling flavor, come and gather around the piano for a beautiful evening of music you do not want to miss.
