LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL
May 17-June 30 • Greer Cabaret Theater
🎟️: https://www.pittsburghclo.org/.../lady-day-at-emersons...
The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday’s last performances, given four months before her death. More than a dozen musical numbers are interlaced with salty and often humorous reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the lady and her music.

Greer Cabaret Theater this Friday, April 26 at 6 pm for a student cabaret performance from students in the Professional Development Program! ⭐
$10 tickets can be purchased at pittsburghclo.ludus.com

All of us at PCLO are devasted to hear of the passing of Chris Peluso. Chris was not only an amazingly talented young man, but a person who always had a smile on his face and made everyone feel like a trusted friend.
Chris was a huge part of our PCLO Family. He was a CLO Academy student and a Mini Star who went on to perform in our mainstage productions like Titanic, The Full Monty, and A Musical Christmas Carol.
Our hearts go out to Chris's family and friends. He will be sorely missed!

Touching and rollickingly funny, HERE YOU COME AGAIN is a musical celebration of the humor and wit of Dolly Parton. In this sweet two-person musical, Dolly Parton appears to a struggling NYC comedian quarantining in his parents' Texas attic after a break-up. Dolly uses her trademark charm to guide Kevin as he rediscovers hope in a trying time. They sing and swap stories—and while hand sanitizer may be scarce, laughter and rhinestones are not.
