Variety show entertainment, country music and a William Shakespeare classic will highlight the schedule of events in the Center for the Arts at Genesee Community College this fall. The recently-released lineup once again offers a wide range of entertainment for the whole community. All are welcome to attend the programs, which are listed in chronological order with all performances in the Stuart Steiner Theatre at GCC’s Batavia Campus.
The season will commence with a visit from Laura Roth, who has intensely studied the likes of Cher, Dolly Parton, Judy Garland, June Carter Cash, Liza Minelli and many more. She brings her incredibly convincing impersonations in the “The Laura Roth Variety Show,” on Friday, September 9 at 8 p.m. Roth has appeared on radio, television and the stage in a variety of singing and acting roles. Come see what Show Business Newspaper calls, “one of the world’s leading cabaret singers.”
Austin Moody’s country music tour makes a stop at GCC on Wednesday, September 21 at 7:30 p.m. Moody is a self-taught singer/songwriter and wrote his first song at the age of 15. Born in Kingsport, Tennessee, Moody followed the advice of some influential people and packed up for the Music City at 18 where he has since worked with some of the city’s most respected and accomplished music veterans, including singing and songwriting advisor D. Vincent Williams.
The Genesee Community College’s Forum Players with bring William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” to the stage in late fall with shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December, 1 through 3 at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, December 4 at 2 p.m. As one of Shakespeare’s most enduring comedies, “Midsummer” portrays lovers and fairies, commoners and aristocrats, and those who would try to arrange everybody’s lives. “The course of love never did run smoothe,” a Shakespearian quote that sums up the show quite succinctly.
