July 23: BARBARA COOK
"Broadway's favorite ingénue,” Barbara Cook is a silvery soprano with her purity of tone and warm presence she has delighted audiences around the world for more than 50 years.

July 30:BOWZER’S ROCK ‘N’ ROLL PARTY
Don’t miss Bowzer's Rock 'n' Roll Party starring Bowzer and The Stingrays, Jay Siegel and The Tokens, with Special Guest Lynn DiMenna. Jon Bauman’s portrayal of "Bowzer", leader of "Sha Na Na" for fourteen years, was so a hilarious, gangly greaser who actually stalked the streets of Brooklyn when he wasn't appearing with the group. “Bowzer” has resurfaced as one of the most multi-dimensional performers in show business today, with his Rock ‘n’ Roll Party. www.bowzerparty.com
