"Touring Theatre of North Carolina celebrates one of America's greats when this versatile company presents Duke Ellington Uptown April 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 at Mack and Mack in downtown Greensboro. Taking the unusual form of a biography/cabaret, five actors sing, scat, strut and swing twelve of the Duke's most popular songs. Directed by Brenda Schleunes, featuring Perry Morgan at the piano, Vattel Cherry on base, Adam Bradby on drums along with jazz singers Sonya B. Brown and Carlo St. James with Touring Theatre regulars Kay Thomas, John Kernodle and Charetta Shaw choreographed by Donna Baldwin Bradby, the show promises to be an evening of delights for Ellington fans of all ages.
Duke Ellington Uptown is sponsored by Webster's Import Service. Roger and Kathleen Webster generously support Touring Theatre not only financially but also with countless hours of time. Webster's is family owned and has been serving Greensboro for nearly 30 years. Please check out their website at www.webstersimportservice.com.
