2011 Love… ‘Round the Piano

Gretna Theatre and The Lantern Lodge are thrilled to present Broadway’s Timothy Shew and Jane Brockman in a dinner-cabaret event “Love ‘Round the Piano” for two performances only on Saturday, February 12 and Sunday, February 13, 2011.  Guests will be treated to a fully served dinner at the famed dining and lodging establishment in Myerstown followed by a cabaret featuring love songs from Broadway sung by two of our favorite leading actors, Timothy Shew and Jane Brockman.  Gretna Theatre producing artistic director Larry Frenock said, “We are so fortunate to have Broadway blockbuster talent such as Tim and Jane to star in our shows during the summer seasons.  The level of talent Gretna Theatre attracts is very exciting – and we are grateful they could slip away from their busy New York careers to join us for this special Valentine’s Day Weekend of love songs!”

“Love ‘Round the Piano” will also feature Carolyn Dorff, whose credits range from the Broadway National Tour of “The Secret Garden,” to regional productions in leading roles in “My Fair Lady,” “The Music Man,” “West Side Story,” “The Sound of Music,” “Carousel,” “The King and I” and many roles at Gretna Theatre including in last season’s “…Spelling Bee,” “Peter Pan” and “Mame.”  Gretna Theatre’s producing artistic director Larry Frenock will not only produce and host the event, but will also step out in front for a song or two.  Besides his work as a producer, he has performed in nearly every state in America in touring shows and regionally such as “Hello, Dolly!,” “42nd Street,” “Anything Goes,” “Babes in Arms,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “The Heidi Chronicles” and was also in the original cast of “Mack the Knife: The Life and Music of Bobby Darin” in New York City.  The musical director for “Love ‘Round the Piano” is Ryan Edward Wise, who also is a Gretna Theatre veteran.
