OPERANTICS
SingCo Music is proud to present the Y1.9K compatible show, Operantics. This is a compact, 45-minute show. Four of the finest singers in the Washington, DC area provide a fast-paced review of operetta from Gilbert and Sullivan to the 1920's operettas of Friml, Harbach and others. The program also showcases American popular music of the teens, including vaudeville numbers, parlor song and early Broadway selections. All of this in forty-five minutes!

STUDIO '37
read review from The Washington Post

  

It's three minutes to airtime for the evening's live broadcast at a typical radio station in 1937. But where's the orchestra? Where are the guest stars, Marlene Dietrich and Bela Lugosi? Stuck in the elevator! Sit back and enjoy being the "audience" in the studio while you watch the skeleton radio staff do all the work! Studio '37 offers wonderful period songs, hilarious commercials, and a sparkling script kept fresh by new ad libs with every performance. Written by Doug Bowles and directed by Jane Christensen, this entertaining romp is sure to leave you feeling fine. Studio '37 runs between 45 minutes and 1 1/2 hours, to suit your event.


   
My wife and I saw the last performance of [Studio '37] at the Czech Embassy last night....We were very impressed with your performance....The pace was brisk, music enthralling. It seems that people at the next table were also taken by the show. In fact, one of them, rapt in attention, did not notice that the lit candle was burning a hole in her program...I knew the show was special; I didn't know it was that hot.

The facial contortions the producer [Doug Bowles] goes through to produce his Bela Lugosi impression have to be seen to be believed! GREAT lines, excellent by-play between the players, all four singers sell their songs well, and the vocal arrangements were wonderful—very true to the period....I hope they're able to take this to a larger audience; the Czech Embassy's reception hall doesn't hold nearly as large an audience as the show deserves.
