Tony Bennett Songbook

Tony Bennett Songbook 

 

Tony Bennett’s iconic signature song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” is one everyone knows and loves. But in his 96 years of life, Tony also left us with an incredible array of other songs such as “Because of You”, “It Amazes Me”, “One for the Road”, and “Stanger in Paradise”, which started him on his journey of singing Broadway. Best known for his early works, Tony had a revival of his career when he began singing duets, starting with k.d. lang and ending with Lady Gaga. Our show will sing many of his top hits and guest star incredible other talent for 2 duets.

A show that is unique and honors the great man himself.

Blithe Spirit - A Sunrise Live Production

Blithe Spirit Ad

Blithe Spirit

 

A theatre-lovers’ favourite ever since it was written, Blithe Spirit is a tug-of-love comedy with a difference: one of the lovers is a ghost. Novelist Charles, hoping to gather material for his next book, asks Madame Arcati (one of the great characters in all of theatre) to conduct a séance in his house. It works too well: his first wife returns from the other side, with predictably disastrous results for his second marriage. Noël Coward at his deadliest.

Abigail Dowd - Free Outdoor Concert!!

Abigail Dowd - Free Outdoor Concert!

 

Abigail Dowd will play a free outdoor show on Saturday, September 23rd at 6pm! 

Local sweetheart singer/songwriter Abigail Dowd grew up under the longleaf pines in the Sandhills region of North Carolina. Known for her storytelling and command of an audience, she has been called "a writer of the highest caliber” (The All Scene Eye). Her soulful voice and unique classical guitar style combined with the edgy bass of Jason Duff caught the attention of Acoustic Guitar Magazine, which described their album “Not What I Seem”: “The guitar-driven introspective folk of the 1970s [as] a touchstone, but so are blues and roots rock ’n’ roll.”

Also, Southern Pines Brewing Company will be debuting and pouring their Sunrise Theater Beer at the event so make sure you come down and try it out! If you get hungry, The Bell Tree will be there with their new food truck featuring a mix of foods found in the restaurant and some you can only find on the truck!

Thank you to our sponsors:
The Bell Tree, Rhodes and Co. Real Estate, Manifest Boutique, and Ashten's Restaurant!!
